The Small Hamlet

Anthonie Waterloo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pastoral scene with thatched cottages in a rural landscape. The horizon is hidden by roofs and trees. The precise etching style defines textures of the roofs and trees. The monochrome color palette emphasizes light and shadow. The ground is rough with a pathway curving past the cottages. Small figures walk along the path. The background sky has cloud-like linework.
