"Boerderij" (Farmhouse) is a 1918 woodcut by Belgian artist Gustave De Smet (1877-1943). De Smet, known for his bold and simplified style, uses strong black and white contrasts to depict a farmhouse nestled amidst stylized trees and fields. The composition is abstract and geometric, suggesting the influence of Expressionism and the artist's interest in simplified forms. De Smet's woodcut captures the essence of a rural landscape, emphasizing the building's presence within the natural environment.
