Ruïne van een boerderij 1773 - 1843

"Ruïne van een boerderij," meaning "Ruin of a Farm," is a pencil drawing by the French artist Georges Michel. The artwork, created between 1773 and 1843, depicts a simple structure, likely a barn or outbuilding, with the emphasis on its dilapidated state. Michel, known for his depictions of the French countryside, often captured the beauty of the natural world and the signs of time on man-made structures. This sketch, though small in scale, demonstrates his keen eye for detail and sensitivity to the landscape. The faint lines of the drawing suggest a quick but observant sketch, capturing the essence of a rural scene.
