Vee en figuren voor een boerenschuur 1816 - 1882

"Vee en figuren voor een boerenschuur" (Cattle and figures in front of a barn) is a drawing by Dutch artist James de Rijk (1806-1882). The artwork, executed in pen and wash, depicts a rural scene with a thatched-roof barn, several figures, and a group of cattle and sheep. De Rijk's meticulous attention to detail captures the texture of the hay and the animals' hides, suggesting a keen observation of nature. The composition is balanced and harmonious, typical of Dutch landscape art from the 19th century. The artwork is small in scale, measuring 190 mm in height and 245 mm in width.
