Farm

Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Master of the Small Landscapes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with grazing animals and farm structures. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, offering a view of the landscape. Thatched cottages, trees, and animals are depicted with clear, fine lines showing textures and shadows. The scene is in monochromatic tones of grey achieved through hatching. Cows are lounging in a field with figures present, and mature trees line the background. The sky has wispy clouds, contrasting with the serene landscape.
