Liegende Kuh mit Kalb im Freien

Italienische Grafik 1747–1775, 1758/1759

This is a drawing of two cows in a pastoral setting. The drawing features two cows, one standing and one lying down, set against a backdrop of foliage and a couple of sheep in the distance. The image is detailed with fine line work to depict the texture of the cows' fur and the surrounding natural environment. The animals are given attention with cross-hatching techniques, creating depth and texture, and their expressions are rendered with soft, naturalistic detail. The serene setting suggests a calm pastoral scene, emphasizing the harmony between the animals and their surroundings.
