Liggende koe, van voren 1821

"Liggende koe, van voren" is a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jean Bernard, created in 1821. This artwork showcases Bernard's skill in capturing the delicate details of a lying cow, creating a sense of realism. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of animal portraiture and reflects the 19th-century Dutch artistic focus on nature. The simple composition, with the cow as the central subject against a blank background, emphasizes its form and texture.
