The Swann's Inn with Farms is a 1676 ink by Lucas van Doetechum, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This landscape etching depicts a serene scene with a large building on the left, possibly an inn, and several smaller structures on the right. In the foreground, three men on horseback are shown, with one of them appearing to be in motion. The background features trees and a cloudy sky. A notable detail in the image is the presence of logs scattered throughout the scene, which may suggest a sense of industry or activity in the area. The overall atmosphere of the etching is one of tranquility and rustic charm. For more information on the technique used to create this image, look up etching.
