Farmhouse with thatched roof and hay barn, print, A woman stands by the farmhouse and three chickens scratch around., printmaker: Pieter Johannes Niesten (signed by artist), 1852 - 1918, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 125 mm x width 168 mm, farm or solitary house in landscape, A sepia-toned sketch shows a rural scene with a thatched-roof cottage in the foreground, its textured roof and stone walls rendered in fine lines and crosshatching; a figure sits at a small table outside the cottage, and several birds are on the ground nearby. Behind the cottage a rounded haystack or mound rises, and a chimney or ruined stone structure sits atop a distant ridge. Large trees with detailed branches and foliage fill the background, and another conical thatched structure is partially visible among the trees. A dirt path runs past the cottage toward the left, bordered by grasses and low vegetation, while a wide expanse of sky occupies the upper portion of the image.
