Kuhstall II (Cow Barn II) is a 1914 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a cow in a barn, rendered in a drypoint style with bold lines and shading. The cow is positioned centrally, facing left, with its head slightly turned towards the viewer. The barn's interior is visible behind the cow, with hints of wooden beams and a sloping roof. The drypoint technique used in this piece creates a sense of texture and depth, with the bold lines and shading adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow also adds to the sense of volume and space within the barn. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, you can explore more of Corinth, Lovis' works.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
