Twee koeien bij een hek 1803 - 1841

"Twee koeien bij een hek" (Two Cows by a Fence) is an etching created by Johannes van Cuylenburgh between 1803 and 1841. The small-scale artwork, measuring 120 mm by 107 mm, depicts two cows in a pastoral setting, one standing and the other lying down, with a wooden fence, a tree, and a distant landscape in the background. Van Cuylenburgh, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and animal studies, captured the quiet tranquility of rural life in this detailed and evocative work. The etching exemplifies the genre of animal art, popular in the 19th century, and showcases the artist's skill in rendering realistic detail.
