About the piece

Painted around 1650 by the Dutch master Jacob van Ruisdael, this work exemplifies the atmospheric sensitivity of the Golden Age. The composition focuses on the interplay between the dense, shadowy woodland and the luminous reflections in the water, punctuated by a lone figure in red on the distant shore.
