Weide met koeien c. 1896

"Weide met koeien" (Pasture with Cows) is an etching created by Dutch artist Willem de Zwart around 1896. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with a small herd of cows grazing in a field, surrounded by trees under a cloudy sky. The etching is executed with delicate lines and soft tonal variations, characteristic of De Zwart's style, capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow in a simple, yet evocative scene. The piece exemplifies the artist's interest in depicting the natural world with a focus on realism and a sense of tranquility.
