About the piece

Created by Dutch master Jan Both around 1650, this oil painting on copper depicts a serene scene of travelers winding along a wooded path near the Tiber. In the background, the historic Ponte Molle spans a quiet river, set against the hazy silhouette of distant mountains and a radiant evening sky that characterizes the artist's celebrated style.
