Farm with Gateway is a 1676 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a quiet village with a dirt path winding through it. Small houses with thatched roofs sit among bare trees, their branches reaching into a light sky. A few people walk or stand near the buildings, some by a low gate at the edge of the village. The artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the texture of the roofs to the folds in the people’s clothes. This kind of printmaking is called *etching*—where acid bites into metal to create the lines. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made their marks.
