Boer en boerin c. 1650 - 1700

"Boer en boerin" (Farmer and Farmwife) is a drawing by Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert, created sometime between 1650 and 1700. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a farmer and a farmwife standing near a goat, capturing a moment in their daily life. Bloemaert's drawing showcases his skill in capturing the human form and the simplicity of rural life. This piece is a fine example of the artist's later style, which focused on everyday scenes, often featuring peasant life. The artwork's small size, 145 mm in height and 185 mm in width, adds to its intimate portrayal of the scene.
