A beautifully detailed 19th-century French agricultural print depicting a richly colored brown cow, originally created as part of a series documenting prized livestock breeds. The image is hand-colored, with fine attention to musculature, landscape, and natural tones.
The print is housed in a substantial carved wooden frame, featuring bold corner motifs and a deep, architectural profile that adds serious presence. The frame has a wonderful aged patina, with surface wear consistent with age, giving it a soulful, timeworn look.
