About the piece
Created in 1648, this painting by Jan Vermeer van Haarlem the Elder is a masterful example of the Haarlem school of landscape painting. The artist skillfully balances the dark, detailed mass of the farmstead and leafy trees against the light-filled expanse of a Dutch sky. Small genre details, such as the figures and dogs by the water in the foreground, add a touch of narrative life to this serene rural scene.
