Farmstead

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rural setting with a fenced property surrounded by trees. In the background, there are several buildings, including a tall central structure with a thatched roof, alongside smaller buildings. The structures are intricately detailed with fine, linear brushstrokes. The color palette is monochromatic in shades of grey. In the foreground, there are cows resting under a tree, with human figures visible near the buildings. The sky above is partly cloudy.
