Twee boerderijen buiten Zwolle c. 1631 - 1633

This detailed pen and ink drawing, created by Gerard ter Borch in the early 17th century, depicts two farmhouses nestled amongst a landscape of trees and a fence. The artist's careful attention to detail and the use of delicate lines convey the peaceful ambiance of rural Dutch life. This sketch, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a fine example of Dutch landscape drawing, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of a bygone era.
