About the piece
Dating from approximately 1640, this Dutch Golden Age painting depicts a bustling yet peaceful farmyard. The composition features thatched-roof cottages, a central wooden cart, and livestock, while figures tend to daily chores by a well, all rendered in a warm, earthy palette characteristic of the era.
