Wooded landscape with cottages

The scene is a wooded landscape with a cluster of large, spreading trees dominating the left and center, a thatched cottage tucked among them, and an open area beyond. A winding dirt road and a small pond lead the eye toward distant houses, with figures and animals providing quiet activity in the foreground. The palette relies on greens, browns, and pale sky blues, with careful light and shadow and a layered, naturalistic composition characteristic of Dutch 17th-century landscape painting.
