The School of Night I
2012–2013

A detailed sketch featuring a close-up of a cow's head in the foreground with expressive eyes and a prominent snout. In the background, two human figures appear to be in a barn or stable setting, with one standing and holding a rope or tool and the other in a dynamic pose. The drawing is rendered in a monochromatic palette with heavy, textured lines and shading, creating a dramatic and rustic atmosphere.
