Landscape with a Hay Barn and a Flock of Sheep is a 1652 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene. A small barn sits behind a fence, surrounded by trees and fields. In the foreground, a muddy path winds through tall grass, and a few sheep graze near the water’s edge. Two people stand near the fence, looking out over the scene. The artist used fine lines to capture every detail—even the texture of the grass and the folds of the sheep’s wool. This kind of precision was key to the technique they used.
