Boerderij en man met twee emmers 1614

"Boerderij en man met twee emmers," a 1614 etching by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts a rural scene with a thatched farmhouse and a man carrying two buckets. The composition, typical of Dutch Golden Age art, emphasizes the details of everyday life. The farmhouse, set against a cloudy sky, appears worn and rustic, highlighting the simplicity of rural existence. The man's figure, rendered with precise lines, adds a sense of scale and activity to the scene. This work, now held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Bolswert's skill in capturing the textures and atmosphere of the Dutch countryside.
