- Physical Description
- This work is horizontally oriented. The lower left quadrant shows a horse-pulled cart with peasants resting in it. In front of the cart, a man and a dog walk in a field. The sky occupies the upper half of the work, and the horizon line is dominated by a church steeple as well as buildings and trees. Birds circle in the sky.
- Subject Matter
- This bucolic rural village scene is evidence of the growing interest in landscape subjects in Dutch seventeenth century art. This small, but highly finished, drawing depicts a horse-drawn cart full of people approaching a rural village. A man and dog appear in the foreground next to the cart. The village in the middle ground consists of a number of small houses among some trees nestled against a small church, whose steeple rises into the sky. Three figures are visible standing in the road at the edge of the village. Birds, depicted as dark silhouettes, wheel in the sky.
