Boer op zijn erf 1887 - 1952

"Boer op zijn erf" is an etching by Chris van der Windt, created between 1887 and 1952. This small etching, measuring only 65 mm in height and 100 mm in width, depicts a Dutch farmer tending to his property. The image showcases a simple rural scene with bare trees, a farmhouse, and the figure of the farmer in the foreground. The etching is a fine example of van der Windt's work, which often focused on everyday life and rural landscapes. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, "Boer op zijn erf" provides a glimpse into the daily life of a Dutch farmer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
