Cow Standing in a Swamp n.d.

"Cow Standing in a Swamp" is an etching by the German artist Carl Wilhelm Kolbe, created sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century. The print depicts a single cow standing in a dense thicket of foliage. The cow is partially obscured by the plants, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The artist’s focus on the natural world is evident in the detailed rendering of the flora, with individual leaves and stalks meticulously depicted. This etching is a fine example of Kolbe’s skill as a printmaker and his interest in capturing the beauty of the natural world.
