Description: | A peasant wearing a hat and long, dark jacket and accompanied by a dog comes towards us along a rutted track. Another peasant sits by the side of the track beneath an overhanging bank to the left, on top of which is a cluster of trees. The second peasant also wears a hat and holds a staff and is pointing at something to the right of the scene with his right hand. A couple of figures can be seen walking some distance away along a track on lower ground in the direction he indicates. Wijnants began painting dune landscapes like this from the late 1650s onwards. The staffage was probably painted by Jan Lingelbach, with whom Wijnants frequently collaborated. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wijnants, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1635-1684) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8530... | Go to resource |
