En ko med rygvendt hyrde 1821

"En ko med rygvendt hyrde" (A Cow with a Turned-Back Shepherd) is an 1821 etching by Danish artist Christian Holm (1803-1846). The artwork depicts a shepherd standing with his back to the viewer, facing a cow, and holding a horn. The shepherd is dressed in traditional clothing, and the cow is depicted in detail, showing its textured fur and anatomical features. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a distant horizon. The drawing is a fine example of Holm's early work and provides an insight into the artist’s interest in everyday life and rural settings. This etching is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
