Boerderijen c. 1780 - 1800

"Boerderijen" (Farmhouses), a graphite drawing by Barend Hendrik Thier, depicts two humble farmhouses with thatched roofs. Created between 1780 and 1800, the work showcases Thier's keen eye for detail as he renders the simple structures with meticulous precision. The drawing's loose, sketchy lines capture the rustic charm of the farmhouses, highlighting the artist's focus on observing and capturing the nuances of everyday life in the Dutch countryside. This drawing is a testament to Thier's ability to translate the ordinary into an engaging and visually compelling composition.
