Boerderij aan een vaart: gezicht op Ouderkerk aan de Amstel

Rembrandt van Rijn

Date
c. 1641
Medium
paper
Institution
Rijksmuseum

Striking in this etching is that Rembrandt places the horizon very low, so that the sky takes up much more of the composition than the land. It is a wintery landscape, although it is not clear if there is snow on the ground. The thatched-roof cottage in the foreground has an extension, an ‘opkamer’ or upstairs room, used for storage or as bedroom.

The authoritative record is held by Rijksmuseum. LinkedCulture surfaces this object and its connections; it does not alter institutional metadata.
