Landscape with a Cottage and Hay Barn: Oblong by Rembrandt van Rijn. The image shows a black-and-white landscape drawing of a rural scene. In the center is a large cottage or house with a thatched roof and a smaller structure attached to it on the left, also with a thatched roof. The house and smaller structure are surrounded by trees and bushes. To the right of the house, there is a small bridge over a stream or ditch. In the background, there are more trees, buildings, and a mountain range. The sky above is empty and light-colored. The entire scene is drawn on a piece of paper with a rough, textured surface. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner. The image is in shades of gray, with darker areas indicating shadow and detail.
