"Liggende koe" (English: "Recumbent Cow") is a painting by the Dutch artist Anton Mauve, a prominent figure in the Hague School, known for his realistic depictions of rural life and landscapes. Mauve, born in 1838, was a master at capturing the serene and pastoral scenes of the Dutch countryside, often featuring animals such as sheep and cows, which were central to the agrarian lifestyle of the time.

This particular painting, "Liggende koe," exemplifies Mauve's skill in portraying the tranquil beauty of farm life. The artwork depicts a cow lying down in a field, rendered with a soft, naturalistic palette that highlights Mauve's ability to convey the subtleties of light and shadow. The cow is shown in a relaxed pose, emphasizing the peacefulness of the rural setting. Mauve's brushwork is delicate yet expressive, capturing the texture of the cow's fur and the surrounding grass with meticulous attention to detail.

Mauve's work is often associated with the Barbizon School's influence, which emphasized plein air painting and a focus on naturalism. His paintings frequently reflect a sense of calm and simplicity, drawing viewers into the quietude of the countryside. "Liggende koe" is no exception, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of the rural Netherlands during the late 19th century.

Anton Mauve was also known for his connection to Vincent van Gogh, as he was married to van Gogh's cousin and provided guidance to the young artist during his early career. Mauve's influence is evident in van Gogh's early works, particularly in his use of color and composition.

"Liggende koe" is a testament to Mauve's enduring legacy as a painter who captured the essence of rural life with sensitivity and precision. His works remain celebrated for their contribution to Dutch art and their ability to evoke the serene beauty of the natural world.
