The artwork titled “Barn and Farmhouse” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1864. This piece, rendered in pencil on paper, is a representation of the Post-Impressionism art movement and falls within the genre of landscape art.
The artwork depicts a serene rural scene with a focus on a rustic barn situated prominently in the foreground. The barn is detailed with textured pencil strokes, illustrating its wooden structure and thatched roof. Adjacent to the barn, slightly to the right, stands a farmhouse with visible windows and a door, adding depth to the composition. In the background, a couple of trees rise gracefully, their foliage rendered in delicate pencil shading. The ground is lightly textured, suggesting grass and possibly a few scattered logs or stones. The overall composition evokes a sense of quietude and pastoral beauty, characteristic of 19th-century rural life.
