A boy in a short tunic stands to the left of a big cow. The cow’s white body glows against the dark field. You can almost feel the cool morning air. Londonio’s etching uses white ink on blue paper. It makes the cow stand out like a ghost in fog. The boy seems small but calm next to the huge animal. If you like this, look up Londonio, Francesco.
