Description: | Peeter Bout trained in Paris in the third quarter of the seventeenth century. His landscapes were influenced by Jan Brueghel the Elder and David Teniers II. The works that he produced in collaboration with Adriaen Frans Boudewyns are often populated by a large number of small figures. In this painting, however, the staffage is limited to the horseman who has stopped in the middle of a country road to talk to a couple with a child on their way to the market. Thatched cottages and the tower of a baroque church appear among the trees. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bout, Peeter (Flemish painter, 1658-1719) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9032... | Go to resource |
