Farms

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

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a pastoral scene with a cluster of thatched-roof cottages along the horizon. Sparse trees surround the cottages. The brushwork is detailed and precise, capturing textures in the rooftops and landscape with fine lines. The color palette is mostly sepia or brown. A small pond with grass at its edge is in the foreground, with livestock like cows and sheep and figures further in the distance. The sky has scattered clouds and a flock of birds.
