This is one of only three known landscapes by Pieter Stalpaert. The others are the signed Wooded Landscape with a Falconer,5 and the attributed Mountain Landscape with Travellers and Herdsmen.6 The sober palette of green and brown tints, and the diagonal lines of the composition, with a dark ridge in the foreground, are related to the landscapes of Pieter de Molijn and Pieter van Santvoort. Bernt has remarked that more landscapes by Stalpaert may have survived but are going under the names of other artists.7 The distinctive underdrawing might be a good point of departure for attributions to this littleknown master.
