Drenthe sheepfold, print, inscription: 'distel 1886', printmaker: Nicolaas van der Waay, 1865 - 1936, paper, chine collé, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, drypoint, height 175 mm x width 230 mm, stall, stable, piglet, suckling pig, Drenthe, A sketch of a rustic thatched structure with rough wooden fencing and an open doorway sits near a body of water, with several sheep gathered in front of the enclosure. The thatch roof shows uneven, textured strokes and protruding beams, and the wooden planks and rails of the fence appear weathered and irregular. The ground in front of the building is marked with linear shading and tracks, and the water below reflects a dark, blurred mirror image of the scene above. The sky is rendered with fine horizontal hatch lines, creating a pale, textured backdrop.
