In het woud en op het veld 1874

"In het woud en op het veld," is an 1874 print by the artists De Ruyter & Meijer. This charming print features four vignettes depicting rural scenes of children playing, a woman raking hay, a group of children pushing a wheelbarrow, and a woman with a baby surrounded by chickens. The print captures a nostalgic and idyllic view of life in the countryside, with a focus on simple pleasures and the beauty of nature. The print is a fine example of illustrative art, and its detailed depiction of figures and landscapes brings to life the daily activities of people living in rural communities. The bright colours, simple designs and child-like illustrations make it appealing to a wide range of viewers.
