Artist, Flemish, 1644 - 1711

The image shows a landscape with tall trees on the left side, fields stretching towards the horizon, and a sky dominating the upper half. The horizon has silhouettes of trees and hills. Birds fly diagonally in the sky, adding movement. The style features detailed yet loose brushstrokes, especially in trees and figures. The color palette is sepia. Figures are present near a tree and further back, engaged in leisure activities. Gentle hills with trees are in the background.
