Kuhstall II (Cow Barn II)

Lovis Corinth

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a cow lying down. The drawing is rendered in a simple and minimalist style with fine lines. The cow is depicted in a relaxed, reclining position, facing to the left. The artist uses delicate line work to define the contours of the cow's body and features. The background is sparse, with just a few sketchy lines suggesting the environment around the cow. The overall effect is one of calmness and simplicity, with an emphasis on capturing the essence of the cow's form and posture.
