The Little Farm is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a small farm, with a large building on the right and a smaller one on the left. In the foreground, several people and animals are visible, including a man walking with a bundle of sticks, a woman holding a basket, and a group of chickens and ducks. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The level of detail in the etching is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that bring the scene to life. The use of shading and contrast adds depth and dimensionality to the image. The etching is a great example of the Baroque movement's emphasis on detail and realism.
