Boerderij onder twee bomen met aan de horizon een stad 1887

"Boerderij onder twee bomen met aan de horizon een stad" is an etching by Dutch artist Elias Stark created in 1887. The artwork depicts a farmhouse nestled between two bare trees with a city skyline visible in the distance. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Stark’s mastery of light and shadow, capturing the subtle details of the rural landscape. The delicate lines and cross-hatching technique convey a sense of tranquility and solitude, typical of Dutch Realism. The artwork provides a glimpse into the Dutch countryside and the integration of rural life with the burgeoning urban centers of the late 19th century.
