A rocky landscape with figures, dead trees in the right foreground with an outlook over the valley, while the left shows the steep side of a mountain. The whole composition is bathed in Italianate sunlight. The strong light and shadow contrast creates a strong impression of warm temperatures and a burning sun under which the figure on horseback in the middle ground is travelling. This painting is associated with the Bamboccianti, genre painters active in Rome from about 1625 until the end of the seventeenth century. Most were Dutch and Flemish artists who brought existing traditions of depicting peasant subjects from sixteenth-century Netherlandish art with them to Italy, and generally created small cabinet paintings or etchings of the everyday life of the lower classes in Rome and its countryside.
