In this intricately detailed print, we are presented with two distinct yet interconnected narratives. On the left side, a group of milking goats peacefully graze in a lush meadow, their gentle presence evoking an idyllic countryside setting. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the texture of their coats and the serene atmosphere that surrounds them.
