Artist, Dutch, 1593 - 1641

The image depicts a pastoral landscape viewed from an elevated perspective. The horizon shows rolling hills, a distant town with a church spire, and a group of resting workers with farming tools. A detailed tree is on the left. The color palette is monochromatic with varying sepia shades. A river cuts through the landscape leading to fields, a sky with clouds, and a flock of birds. The background detail is rendered with thin lines.
