Large Walled Farm is a 1619 ink by Claes Jansz Visscher, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a large walled farm with a tall building at its center. The structure features a steeply pitched roof and multiple windows. In the foreground, two figures are visible, one of whom appears to be holding a tool. A wall encloses the farm, with a few trees scattered around the property. The scene is rendered in fine detail, with delicate lines and subtle shading that evoke a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of quiet tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the farm.
