About this work
River landscape with a footbridge in the background and a herd of cows, a shepherd with a staff, and a second figure in the foreground. In the lower right, half in the blank margin, the head of an old man is sketched in a few lines, likely from testing the etching needle. Such doodles are rare on 17th-century etchings.
