Farms

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

National Gallery of Art

The image is a straight-on view of a landscape. The horizon features thatched-roof cottages, trees, and a gap in the building pattern. The etching technique shows detailed line work with a monochrome color scheme of black and white. In the foreground, there is a cultivated field with rows and a small figure of a farmer. The background shows more trees, and the sky has subtle horizontal lines.
