Painter, Dutch, 1621 - 1675

This painting shows a landscape with rugged gray rocks, rolling green hills, and tall trees with leaves in shades of dark green and rusty orange. On the left, red and gray wooden structures sit on the rocky ground, surrounded by scattered rocks and tree limbs. Small white goats walk on the rocks around the buildings. A gray river flows from near the buildings down to a waterfall at the center of the painting. The sky above is light blue and covered with white and gray clouds.
