Farms

Johannes and Lucas van Doetechum after Master of the Small Landscapes

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a rural scene with thatched-roof structures, trees, sky with clouds and birds in flight. The artwork features fine, detailed hatching and cross-hatching. The color scheme is monochromatic with varying shades of black ink on cream-colored paper. A lone figure with a stick is walking near chickens pecking around. Thatched structures are seen in the distance, completing the scene.
