About this work

You see three cows in a Dutch barn—one big brown bull, a white cow, and a small black calf. The calf nurses while the others stand calm. Sunlight cuts through the barn’s wooden beams. Dujardin was also a painter. He liked animals and quiet scenes like this one. The lines are sharp and detailed. Check out more drypoint prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
