"Meisje met twee koeien" (Girl with Two Cows) is an etching by Albert Heinrich Brendel, a German artist known for his landscapes and genre scenes. This 1887 artwork, held at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young woman tending to two cows in a pastoral setting. The composition is simple yet evocative, with the cows grazing in the foreground and the woman standing calmly in the background, creating a sense of peaceful rural life.
