Kop van een koe 1805 - 1844

"Kop van een koe" (Head of a Cow) is an etching by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin, a Dutch artist who lived from 1796 to 1844. Created between 1805 and 1844, the artwork depicts a close-up of a cow's head, with a tree trunk and a fence framing the composition. The detailed etching showcases Claussin's skill in rendering animal anatomy and texture. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures a small 100 mm by 76 mm, reflecting the intimate scale typical of 19th-century Dutch animal studies.
