Holy Cow (Pio bove)

Giovanni Fattori

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a horned animal in a grassy field. In the background, there is a large structure resembling a haystack with a tall spike at its peak. Rolling hills extend into the distance, under a sky with swirling clouds. The depiction uses detailed etching to show texture in the grass, clouds, and hills. The color scheme is monochromatic, with black lines on a white background.
