Momper's name is closely associated with his mountain landscapes. He was extremely creative, drawing on a variety of compositional motifs.

In the present painting, the groups of figures strung out along the road are by Jan Brueghel the Elder, with whom Momper collaborated on about 200 paintings over the course of 40 years or more.
