Landscape with a Cottage and a Large Tree
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1641
The style, subject, oblong format and paper agree so closely with the print displayed above that Rembrandt surely must have meant them as a pair. This type of cottage is called a ‘langhuisboerderij’ (‘longhouse-farmstead’) and has a roof covered with thatch and sod. Rembrandt depicts the dwelling in a dilapidated condition, but still inhabited; two children stand in the doorway.
