Resting Cows

About this work

This etching shows three cows resting in a grassy field. One cow stands with its back to us, another sits mid-ground, and the third lies down nearby. Trees and bushes fill the background, with a distant hill or village faintly sketched in the far right. The artist used fine lines to show fur texture and shadows, giving the cows a soft but solid look. The background is lighter, letting the cows stand out.
