About the piece

Painted around 1655 by Allaert van Everdingen, this work exemplifies the artist's pioneering role in introducing Scandinavian landscapes to Dutch art. The composition balances the wildness of nature with signs of human presence, from the thatched mill to the travelers on the winding path, all set beneath an expansive, atmospheric sky.
