Boerderij 1872 - 1937

"Boerderij" (Farmhouse), an etching by Dutch artist Roelf Takens, depicts a simple rural scene. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, was created between 1872 and 1937 and captures the essence of a Dutch farmhouse with its thatched roof and brick walls. The composition includes a small figure in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the landscape. Takens's meticulous detail and use of light and shadow contribute to the work's realism and nostalgic charm.
