Staande koe met deken, naar links 1816

"Staande koe met deken, naar links" is a watercolor painting by Jean Bernard, a Dutch artist known for his detailed animal studies, completed in 1816. This artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a cow in profile, wearing a blanket and standing in a grassy field. The precise brushwork and muted tones of the painting create a sense of realism, highlighting Bernard's keen observation of the animal's form. The cow's relaxed posture and the simple, rural scene evoke a sense of tranquility and rural life, characteristics common in Bernard's work.
