Artist, Flemish, active c. 1650

The image shows a village scene from a slightly elevated point of view. The horizon is positioned high, close to the upper edge of the image, where gentle hills populate the scene. The style is monochromatic, with detailed line work capturing the texture of the houses' roofs and the trees. In the foreground, a few figures engage in activities, while a cart moves along a path, leading the eye deeper into the image where more houses and people can be seen.
