Farms and Shed is a 1560 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet village scene with a church and small houses. Trees line the dirt path, and a few people and animals are scattered around. The buildings have thatched roofs, and the whole scene looks calm and simple. The artist used a mix of lines to create depth, with some areas looking rougher than others. This was a common way to make prints back then. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
