Description
Signed: „MARTEN VAN VALCKENBORCH FE.“ (on the signpost: „1566“?); in the foreground on the right, a sheperd stands with his flock under tall trees; on the left, soldiers and a woman have settled themselves by a well; a covered wagon with a party of gentlefolk rides down into the plain; on the riverbank, there is a tavern; on the bridge, on can see Tobias with the angel, and further to the right, a church under tall trees; the landscape opens up into a vast plain further afield, where fields and roads are enlivened by flocks and wayfarers; one also sees a fortified place with a gallows hill, a mill and a great city in the distance; the sun breaks through the clouds and shines highlights over the landscape, which appears brown in the foreground, and otherwise light green, blue and yellow.
