Landschaft mit Kühen (Landscape with Cows) is a 1917 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with two cows grazing under a tree. The branches spread wide, and the ground is rough lines. The water in the foreground looks choppy, drawn with quick, jagged strokes. The artist used a drypoint tool to scratch into the paper, creating dark lines that pop against the light background. The cows are simple shapes, almost like quick notes rather than detailed drawings. Next, check out the technique: drypoint.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
