Lying Cow is the name of two oil paintings created by Vincent van Gogh around 1882 when he was living at The Hague.[2][3][4]

In the 1970 catalogue raisonné, based on Jacob Baart de la Faille's researches, the paintings were dated 1882.[5] Jan Hulsker, however, feels they must be associated with his 1883 painting Cows in the Meadow, a painting known only by a very poor photograph, and accordingly dates them as August 1883, thus executed shortly before van Gogh broke with his mistress Sien Hoornik and left for Drenthe.[6]
