Liggende koe 1761 - 1784

"Liggende koe" is a detailed etching created by Dutch artist Johannes Janson between 1761 and 1784. The print depicts a cow lying down in a field, with a distant landscape and sky behind it. Janson's skilled use of line and shading effectively captures the animal's form and the texture of the grass and the clouds. This etching exemplifies Janson's mastery of animal portraiture and his ability to render the natural world with precision and sensitivity. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
