Flanders, around 1640
Oil on canvas, doubled.
From an elevated vantage point a wide view opens into a deep river landscape, enlivened with a castle complex and with a row of houses on the left half of the picture, as well as country people and a hunter on the right.
The depth of the green-blue background is enhanced by a strong round fortified tower standing in the river and reached by a wooden footbridge. In the foreground a treescape contrasts the depth with dramatic cloud formation in the background.
96 x 138 cm. In a partly gilded old frame.
