Two horsemen have stopped to talk in front of some farm buildings. A boat navigates the river at the left. Jan Wouwermans lived & worked in Haarlem, painting landscapes based on the dune scenery near Haarlem. As one can see in this painting, he was influenced by Jan Wijnants & by his brother, the well-known landscape painter Philips Wouwermans, whose works are also represented in the National Gallery's Collection.
