Koe in een weiland 1867 - 1935

"Koe in een weiland" (Cow in a Meadow) is a print created by Maurits van der Valk, a Dutch artist who lived from 1857 to 1935. This etching, which is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a single cow in a field. Van der Valk's masterful use of line and tone creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the animal's form and the surrounding landscape. The print's relatively small dimensions (131 mm by 148 mm) add to its intimate feel, inviting viewers to appreciate the details of the cow's anatomy and the subtle nuances of the environment.
