Twee koeien met de koppen bij elkaar 1829 - 1879

"Twee koeien met de koppen bij elkaar" (Two Cows with their Heads Together) is an etching by Belgian artist Ildephonse Stocquart. Created between 1829 and 1879, the piece depicts two cows standing side-by-side in a field, their heads turned toward each other. Stocquart was known for his detailed and realistic animal portraits, a signature style that shines in this small, delicate etching. While the composition is simple, the artist's masterful rendering of the cows' forms and the surrounding landscape imbues the work with a sense of quiet intimacy. The piece is an example of Stocquart's mastery of animal portraiture and etching techniques.
