Studieblad met koeiekop 1781 - 1822

"Studie blad met koeiekop" is a small, detailed drawing by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock, created between 1781 and 1822. The drawing, now located in the Rijksmuseum, focuses on the head of a cow, depicted in a realistic manner with intricate hatching and shading. The artist’s interest in animal anatomy is evident in this study, likely intended for a larger work. The inclusion of additional elements like foliage and a partial human figure suggests a potential composition that could be expanded upon.
