A Farmhouse is a 1875 oil by Henri Harpignies, a Barbizon school work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
In the painting, a farmhouse is nestled among trees and bushes, with a serene pond reflecting the scene. The sky above is a soft blend of gray and white, with a few wispy clouds. The artist's use of muted colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of calm, drawing the viewer into the peaceful atmosphere of the rural landscape.
