Trekos met juk voor de stal 1851 - 1857

"Trekos met juk voor de stal" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Jacobus Cornelis Gaal, created between 1851 and 1857. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a detailed close-up of a cow with a yoke in front of a wooden barn. Gaal, known for his meticulous depictions of animals and landscapes, captured the cow's form and the texture of its hide with incredible precision. This work is a testament to Gaal's skill in rendering natural subjects in a realistic and expressive manner, exemplifying the Dutch tradition of animal art. The drawing's intimacy and focus on the cow's everyday life create a sense of connection between the viewer and the animal.
