Koe en schaap 1828

"Koe en schaap" (Cow and Sheep) is an etching by Dutch artist Frédéric Théodore Faber, created in 1828. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two scenes. The upper scene shows a cow standing in profile with a grassy field and trees in the background. The lower scene features a cow lying down, with a sheep nestled beside it under a tree. Faber's detailed and realistic depiction of the animals and surrounding landscape exemplifies the Dutch tradition of animal painting. The work highlights Faber's skilled craftsmanship and his interest in capturing the natural world.
