Flemish School, late 17th-early 18th century. On the back, an old pencil attribution to Nicolaes Berchem (1620-1683), an artist of landscapes with pastoral figures and a painterly style similar to this work, is present. The landscape features a stream at its center flowing across a plain surmounted by rocky outcrops, through which natural tunnels are opened, through which the path passes. Various wayfarers pass: in the foreground, a man wades across the stream with his pack donkey; behind him, a herdsman on horseback with his cows; smaller figures are crossing the rock tunnel on the right. The painting has been restored and relined in the past. It is presented in a period frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
