Village with Pond is a 1782 ink by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene village scene, with a pond at its center. The village is surrounded by trees and buildings, with people engaged in various activities. In the foreground, a boat is visible on the pond, while in the background, a church steeple rises above the rooftops. The artist's use of aquatint and roulette work creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The red-brown ink used in the print adds warmth to the image, drawing the viewer's eye to the central pond. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this beautiful example of Romanticism.
