About the Item

This print by Anthony Oberman depicts a scene with two cows resting in a field. Here’s a detailed description of the etching: Composition: 1. Resting Cows: - The print features two cows lying down in a field. The cow on the left has horns and is depicted with its head slightly turned towards the viewer, chewing on a piece of grass. - The cow on the right is lying down with its head slightly lowered, presenting a calm and relaxed demeanor. The detailed textures of their coats are carefully etched, showcasing different patterns and spots on their bodies. 2. Background Elements: - The background is minimal, focusing primarily on the grassy field where the cows are resting. This simplicity ensures that the viewer's attention remains on the cows. - The horizon line is hinted at, giving a sense of the open, pastoral setting. Artistic Elements: - **Technique**: Oberman’s etching technique is evident in the detailed line work and shading, particularly in the depiction of the cows’ fur and the grass. The use of light and shadow gives depth to the animals and the scene. - **Composition**: The composition is centered around the two cows, positioned side by side, creating a balanced and harmonious scene. The focus on the cows' relaxed poses adds a tranquil quality to the print. - **Background**: The minimal background with simple grassy textures emphasizes the peaceful rural setting and keeps the viewer’s focus on the cows. Condition: - The paper shows signs of aging, including 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..
