Koeien 1643 - 1655

"Koeien" is an etching by Herman van Swanevelt, dating back to 1643-1655. The etching depicts a pastoral scene with two cows in the foreground, and a shepherd resting under a tree in the background. The detailed lines and shading create a sense of depth and realism in this black and white composition. The piece reflects a key artistic style of the Baroque period. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
