The Cow (La Vache) is a 1893 ink by Victor Alfred Paul Vignon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a cow standing in a shallow stream, its legs half-submerged in water. The animal’s fur is drawn with quick, rough lines, giving it texture. In the background, a person sits on the bank, and a building with a thatched roof stands on a hill. The artist used a technique that leaves scratchy, layered lines—this is called etching. The scene looks simple but has a lot of small details packed in. If you like this style, look up etching to see how it works.
