"Reclining Cow and Calf in the Open" is an etching by Italian artist Francesco Londonio, created between 1758 and 1759. The image depicts a cow and calf, standing and lying down respectively, with a small herd of sheep in the foreground, suggesting a rural setting. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques used in the etching create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the animals to life. The realistic portrayal of these animals, characteristic of Londonio's work, is further enhanced by the artist's subtle use of light and shadow. This print exemplifies Londonio's mastery of etching as a medium for creating intricate and evocative animal studies.
