Landscape with Travellers

1792
Oil on canvas, 37 x 46 cm
Private collection

This painting depicts a landscape with travellers in a horse drawn carriage and figures conversing by a track. In the rural scene, the artist creates a fine contrast between the frenetic coachman, spurring his horses into a furious gallop and the leisurely exchange amongst the group of figures in the foreground of the work.
