Standing cow to the right 

Friedrich Wilhelm Hirt drew this standing cow with brown ink on paper. The use of ink allows for fine, controlled lines, ideal for capturing the subtle contours and details of the animal's form. The ink's fluidity enables the artist to create a sense of depth through varying line weights and densities. The choice of brown ink also gives the drawing a warm, earthy quality that complements the subject matter. The cow's posture and proportions are carefully observed, suggesting a close study of the animal in its natural environment. Hirt’s ink drawing is a reminder of how the simplest materials, when skillfully employed, can produce works of lasting beauty and insight.
