The Farmyard is a 1859 ink by Emmanuel Phélippes-Beaulieu, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet farm scene with two small buildings. One looks like a house with a slanted roof, and the other has a window with a hanging lantern. A person stands near a well, holding a bucket, while pumpkins and a basket sit on the ground. Trees and a fence frame the scene, drawn in simple lines. The artist used a scratchy, textured style that makes the image feel rough and real. This was likely made as a quick study of everyday life. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints by scratching into metal plates.
