Meyering was a painter, engraver and etcher most recognised for his Italianate classical landscapes with mythological or Arcadian themes such as the present example. This landscape compares closely with two other works by Meyering, both of which can be dated to the first half of the 1680s. The first example, signed and dated 1684, was offered at Sotheby's London on 3 July 1996, lot 171;1 the second, also signed, was sold at Carola van Ham in Cologne on 22 March 1995, lot 1196.2
