Pad richting een boerderij 1923

"Pad richting een boerderij" is a 1923 charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Alexander Schilling (1859-1937). This simple yet expressive sketch depicts a rural scene, with a single farmhouse nestled in the landscape, seemingly viewed from a path leading toward it. The artist's use of loose, gestural lines creates a sense of immediacy and captures the fleeting moment of the rural scene. The inclusion of a single cloud in the upper portion of the artwork adds a sense of atmosphere and scale to the scene. The subject of the farmhouse suggests a theme of rural life, which was common in Schilling's oeuvre.
