Specialist note

Though unknown to Hans-Ulrich Beck at the time he catalogued de Neyn's work, this painting is an exceptional example of the artist's approach to tonal landscape painting around 1630. While the diagonally oriented road draws inspiration from van Goyen's paintings in the period, the sophisticated design and refined brushwork are considered hallmarks of de Neyn.
