"Boerderijen aan een weg" (Farmsteads along a Road) is a pencil drawing by Dutch painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, completed between 1844 and 1845. The artwork depicts a simple scene of a quiet country road lined with farmhouses, emphasizing the peaceful and idyllic nature of the Dutch countryside. Koekkoek, renowned for his landscapes, captured the details of the buildings, vegetation and the single tree in the foreground with precise, delicate lines. The drawing currently resides at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
