Lying cattle to the left 

"Lying cattle to the left" is a pen and wash drawing by Friedrich Wilhelm Hirt, currently housed in the Städel Museum. This simple yet detailed work features a single, reclining cow, rendered in a naturalistic style. The use of brown ink and wash creates subtle tonal variations, emphasizing the cow's form and texture. The drawing likely serves as a preparatory study for a larger work, demonstrating Hirt's keen observation of animal anatomy and his skill in capturing the essence of his subject.
