Drie koeien en een jongen in een weiland c. 1748 - 1771

"Drie koeien en een jongen in een weiland" (Three cows and a boy in a meadow) is an etching by Dutch artist Théodore Wynant Stallenbergh, dating back to the mid-18th century. The artwork depicts a simple pastoral scene, characteristic of Dutch landscape painting. The composition features three cows, one standing and two reclining, in a meadow, with a young boy leaning on a fence in the background. Stallenbergh's fine lines and detailed hatching create a sense of depth and realism, capturing the textures of the cows' fur and the grasses of the meadow. This etching is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into rural Dutch life during the 18th century.
