Landscape with a Farmhouse is a 1594 ink by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with a farmhouse in the middle. The farmhouse is surrounded by trees and fields, with a few people working in the distance. The sky is cloudy and grey, with a few birds flying overhead. The painting is done in a style called chiaroscuro, which means it uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. The artist has used a range of colors, including sepia, ochre, olive, and black, to create a warm and earthy tone.
