Reclining Cow and Calf in the Open is a 1758 gouache by Francesco Londonio, a Baroque work, depicting Cattle, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cow and her calf resting in a field. The artist used a combination of etching and white gouache to create texture. The blue paper background adds a sense of calm to the scene, and the contrast between the cow's rough fur and the smooth paper is interesting.
