Boerderij 1741 - 1795

Cornelis van Noorde's "Boerderij" (1741-1795) is a detailed etching showcasing a rural Dutch landscape. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures a humble farmhouse with a thatched roof, framed by trees and a canal. Van Noorde's meticulous attention to detail in the architecture and the natural world captures the tranquility and simplicity of rural life in 18th century Holland. The scene features figures interacting with the landscape, adding to the everyday realism of the artwork, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age tradition.
