Farmstead (oil on canvas, 1905)

"Farmstead" (1905) by Piet Mondrian is a tranquil rural scene rendered in a naturalistic style. The painting shows a traditional Dutch farmhouse nestled among trees, with a thatched roof and earthy tones that harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Mondrian’s careful use of light and shadow gives depth to the composition, while the soft, muted palette evokes a calm, pastoral atmosphere. Created before his move toward abstraction, this work highlights his strong foundation in representational art and his sensitivity to the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside.
