Resting cow by the waterside, print, Lying cow by the waterside next to some trees., signature: 'G. Altmann', printmaker: Gerard Altmann (signed by artist), 1887 - 1940, paper, etching, printed in brown, height 180 mm x width 128 mm, cow, A detailed ink drawing shows a wooded riverside scene with large, gnarled trees occupying much of the upper area, their trunks and branches rendered with dense, textured lines and leafy canopies. In the foreground a cow stands near the water’s edge, its head turned slightly and its body shaded with fine crosshatching. Grass and low vegetation fill the ground around the trees and along the shoreline, drawn with short, varied strokes. A thick, knotted tree trunk with a rounded cut surface and a hanging vine-like root is visible toward the left, and distant low land is suggested across the water under a sky with soft, lightly sketched clouds.
