Boerderij before 1828

"Boerderij" is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Cornelis de Kruyff, depicting a simple farm building with a thatched roof in a rural landscape. Created before 1828, the drawing showcases de Kruyff's talent for capturing the details of everyday life in the Dutch countryside, a popular subject during this period. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 210 mm in height and 275 mm in width, and is a testament to de Kruyff's mastery of the medium. It offers a glimpse into the life of a 19th-century Dutch farmer.
