The drawing, executed in red chalk on laid paper, depicts a superb portrait of a cow, standing in a meadow.
Authorship : the drawing is from the Dutch School, by Adriaen van de Velde. Several simular drawings by van de Velde, depicting cows (and done in red chalk) leave no doubt about the author of this particular drawing.
