The Estuary Farm is a 1832 oil by Jules Dupré, a Barbizon school work, depicting cottage, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a farm near a body of water. It has trees, a few buildings, and some animals. The artist used a lot of brown and green to create a calm scene, which is interesting because it was made during a time when many artists focused on dramatic landscapes, and this one is more subdued, with the artist using simple colors to convey a sense of peace, and if you like this style, look at the work of artist: Jules Dupré.
