Landscape With a Farmyard, Thatched-Roofed Buildings and a Peasant Woman 1755 - 1819

This anonymous 18th century red chalk drawing, titled *Landscape With a Farmyard, Thatched-Roofed Buildings and a Peasant Woman*, depicts a bucolic scene of a humble farm. The artist captures the rustic charm of the thatched-roof buildings and the quiet life of a peasant woman tending to her chores. The drawing is rendered in a loose, sketchy style, which adds to the sense of spontaneity and authenticity of the scene. This drawing is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
