Boerenhofstede 1559 - 1561

"Boerenhofstede," a 16th-century etching by Johannes of Lucas van Doetechum, depicts a Dutch farmstead. The detailed image showcases a central, multi-story farmhouse with thatched roofs and a wooden fence. The farmstead is enclosed by a fence and trees, and a man walks along the path. The artist’s precise lines and the use of shading create a sense of depth and realism, giving the scene a peaceful and picturesque quality.
