Twee hokken voor vee 1807 - 1861

"Twee hokken voor vee" (Two Huts for Cattle) is a pen and wash drawing by Cornelis Steffelaar, created between 1807 and 1861. The drawing depicts two simple, rustic huts, likely used to house livestock. The artist skillfully captures the texture of the rough-hewn timber and the worn-out thatch roofs. The drawing is a testament to Steffelaar's ability to capture the details of everyday life in the Netherlands. The work exhibits a romantic sensibility, as if the artist was drawn to the quiet solitude and beauty of the rural landscape.
