Liggend rund 1824 - 1859

"Liggend rund," or "Reclining Cow," is a red chalk drawing by Pieter Jan Guise, a 19th-century Dutch artist. This detailed drawing, which was created between 1824 and 1859, features a single cow resting in a field of grass. Guise's skill with red chalk is evident in his ability to render the cow's fur and the texture of the surrounding grass with great precision. The drawing exemplifies Guise's preference for depicting animals in their natural settings, a common subject matter for Dutch animal painters.
