This landscape shows a broad view of fields, rising slightly to the right, with a farmer in a cart drawn by two oxen proceeding from right. The roof of a thatched building is visible to far right and a dried-out tree stump dominates the center of the composition.  Though Baillie describes the print as being after a drawing by Rembrandt, it has been suggested that the original was more likely to have been drawn by Rembrandt’s contemporary, Philips Koninck.
