Spotted Bull and Three Sheep

Adriaen van de Velde

National Gallery of Art

The image features a pastoral scene with animals depicted in a detailed and intricate style through fine line work typical of etching. The scene includes cows grazing and a sheep lying down, set against a background of foliage and distant trees, all in a monochrome color palette of black and white that emphasizes light and shadow contrasts.
