About this work

The painting features a cow in a reclined position, facing right. The cow's fur is rendered in various shades of brown, with a lighter tone on its underside and darker tones on its back. Its head is turned towards the right, and its ears are perked up. The cow's body is depicted in a relaxed pose, with its front legs folded under its body and its hind legs stretched out behind it. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy tone that complements the cow's fur. This painting is a fine example of the Baroque movement.
