Koeien en een kalf met bel om de hals 1762 - 1829

Jean Louis Demarne’s “Koeien en een kalf met bel om de hals” (Cows and a Calf with a Bell Around its Neck), created between 1762 and 1829, is an etching that depicts a group of cows and a calf grazing in a field. The detailed rendering of the animals and their surroundings is a hallmark of Demarne's animal studies, which often featured realistic portrayals of farm animals in their natural habitats. The work highlights the artist's keen eye for observation and his ability to capture the essence of animal life in his art.
