Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a cow from behind on a piece of paper. The cow's head is not drawn. The body of the cow faces away from the viewer. The paper is off-white and rectangular. The top edge has three small holes. The sketch is in the center of the page. It is drawn with simple lines. The cow's body has a large hump on its back near the head. Its tail hangs down. The legs are partially drawn. There are small black numbers written in the bottom-left corner. The background around the paper is solid black. A white rectangle covers the right third of the image.
