"Koe wordt gemolken" (Cow being milked), a pencil drawing by Jean Bernard from 1818, depicts a woman kneeling and milking a cow. The cow is depicted in profile, looking directly at the viewer while the woman's back is turned. Bernard was a Dutch painter and draughtsman known for his depictions of everyday life and rural scenes. The drawing exemplifies his skill in capturing the simple beauty of nature and the human connection with animals. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
