Etching of Resting Cow by Fence: Rural Scene by Anthony Oberman, 1810

About the Item

The print by Anthony Oberman features a single cow lying down near a fence in a pastoral setting. Here’s a detailed description of the etching: Composition: 1. Resting Cow: - The central subject is a cow lying down on the grass. The cow is positioned to the right of the composition, with its body turned away from the viewer and its head slightly turned to the left. - The detailed etching captures the texture of the cow's coat and the folds of its skin, showcasing Oberman's skill in rendering animal anatomy. 2. Background Elements: - The cow is situated near a wooden fence that runs diagonally across the scene, adding depth and perspective. - The background features a simple landscape with some foliage and a cloudy sky, providing context to the rural setting without distracting from the main subject. Artistic Elements: - Technique: Oberman’s etching technique is evident in the fine line work and shading, particularly in the depiction of the cow's fur and the texture of the wooden fence. The use of light and shadow gives depth to the scene. - Composition: The composition is balanced, with the cow positioned slightly off-center to the right, allowing the fence and landscape to create a harmonious background. - Background: The minimal background with simple grassy textures and a few clouds ensures that the focus remains on the cow, while still providing a sense of place. Condition: - The paper shows signs of aging, such as slight yellowing and minor spots, which are typical for prints of this age. - The edges of the paper are mostly intact, with some minor wear and small tears, particularly noticeable in the corners. Anthony Oberman (1781-1845) was a Dutch artist known for his detailed paintings and etchings, primarily focusing on animals, landscapes, and still lifes. Born and baptized in Amsterdam, he studied at the Stadstekenacademie (drawing academy) and became a member of the Koninklijke Academie in Amsterdam in 1833. Oberman's work is notable for its precision and attention to detail, particularly in his depictions of horses, which were popular among Amsterdam collectors. He also created portraits of horses for notable figures, such as the banker Adriaan van der Hoop, with some works now held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In his later years, Oberman specialized more in painting flower and fruit pieces, reflecting a shift in his artistic focus. His artworks have been sold at various auctions, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on the piece. For example, his still life paintings have fetched significant sums at Sotheby's and Christie's, illustrating his continued recognition and appreciation in the art world. Oberman's contributions to art, particularly his detailed studies of animals and rural scenes, have left a lasting impact, making his works valuable to collectors and art historians alike..
