David Teniers the Younger captured the outskirts of Brussels in this peaceful landscape. The composition shows a winding road through rolling countryside, with travelers and peasants going about their daily business. Flemish farmhouses and distant church spires dot the horizon.
Teniers served as court painter to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm and became famous for both peasant scenes and landscapes. His work combines careful observation with a gentle, golden atmosphere. This painting is held at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.
