Farms is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet village scene with small houses and thatched roofs. Tall trees line a dirt road that winds through the middle, while a few people and animals move around. The sky is lightly sketched with wispy clouds, and the whole scene feels calm and everyday. The artist used a mix of etched lines and hand-retouched details to create depth. Tiny figures and simple shapes keep the focus on the landscape itself. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made prints.
