Cow Pissing

Nicolaes Pietersz Berchem

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching depicting a scene with goats grazing, a cow in the center, distant hills, trees, and figures resting against a tree. The composition is divided into various planes, with detailed line work used to render the animals, landscape, and figures. The color palette is primarily shades of brown, typical of etchings focused on light, dark, contrast, and linework.
