Artist, Flemish, 1605 - 1655

The image displays a landscape view from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is in the upper third of the image where land and water meet against the backdrop of the sky. The brushstrokes create a sense of impressionism. The color palette includes browns, ochres, and muted greens, giving a tranquil feel. A path winds past trees and rocks in the foreground, with more trees in the distance. Trees of varying sizes are distributed across the view, creating depth and texture.
