Johannes van Doetechum, the Elder and Lucas van Doetechum after Master of the Small Landscapes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with farm buildings, trees, and a cottage with a thatched roof. Sparse leafless trees on the left, a pond with grazing cows and ducks, and a cart pulled by oxen on a dirt path. Figures in the distance between the buildings in a circular formation, surrounded by open land and a few trees. The sky above is filled with detailed scattered clouds. The scene is depicted in fine, detailed brushstrokes and etching, with a monochromatic color palette of various shades of grey.
