The body forms a long dark mass
The black-purple side occupies almost the entire width and stabilizes the composition. A few curved touches are enough to indicate the shoulder, back and hip.

Vincent van Gogh · August 1883 · The Hague, Netherlands
A black piebald cow rests in the grass, facing almost head-on towards the viewer. Its large dark body crosses the canvas, while the muzzle, forehead and hooves are shaped by very expressive light touches.
Look at the work
The white and gray head is placed near the center, framed by two black ears. The frontal gaze and the half-open mouth give the cow a surprisingly direct presence.
The legs are folded under the chest and on the right side. The meadow is not described as a landscape: greens, mallows and earth fill the entire surface around the animal.
Reclining Cow F1b/JH388 is a 30 × 50 cm oil on canvas painted in The Hague in August 1883. This version is kept in private collections in South Korea.
Composition, touch and color
The very horizontal format follows the animal's body exactly. Van Gogh contrasts a large black mass with the clear impasto of the head and legs, creating immediate reading despite a reduced palette.
The black-purple side occupies almost the entire width and stabilizes the composition. A few curved touches are enough to indicate the shoulder, back and hip.
Whites, grays, pinks and mauves intersect around the forehead and muzzle. These thick touches restore the bone structure and texture of the coat.
No sky appears. The grass becomes a continuous background whose dull greens and purple markings bring out the hooves and belly.
Documented benchmarks
Two paintings of Reclining Cow are known. The 30 × 50 cm format and compact silhouette of this example correspond to F1b/JH388, and not the much narrower F1c/JH389 version.
F1b measures 30 × 50 cm and is in Korean private collections. F1c measures only 19 × 47.5 cm and its current location remains unknown.
The catalogs date it from August 1883, shortly before Van Gogh's departure for Drenthe. He then further developed his mastery of oil painting.
The cow is isolated from any herd, building or horizon. The lying position allows the artist to focus on body weight and folded joints.
Your reproduction
The copy must retain the elongated format, the very worked white forehead, the black ears, the deep purple side, the folded legs and the mauve green irregularities of the meadow.
