Country House with a Ditch is a 1633 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a quiet country house by a ditch. The walls are half-timbered. A winding path leads to the door. Sheep graze near a low stone bridge. This is an etching with extra engraving lines. The artist added texture to the grass and clouds. The scene feels both real and dreamy. Look up etching next. The technique lets artists draw lines directly onto metal.
