Farms is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a serene rural scene, with a cluster of trees and buildings in the foreground. The trees, some bare and others with leaves, are scattered throughout the scene, while the buildings appear to be farmhouses or barns. In the background, a few birds can be seen flying in the sky. The scene is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall sense of atmosphere and mood. This painting is a great example of the work of Doetechum, Lucas van.
