Condition
Copper plate is flat and stable. The retention of detail overall is very good with nice detail throughout. There is some minor scuffing at bottom edge due to frame rubbing. Under ultraviolet light: there are a few very small retouches, one at extreme lower right corner and another in foreground to left of center; another one at upper center near upper edge. This painting is presentable and can be hung as is.
In a plain black frame with gilt inner edge.

Catalogue Note
While working in Utrecht, Warnard van Rijssen was a pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburch, to whom this painting was formerly attributed (see Literature and Exhibited). Though little is known about his life, he appears to have worked in Italy and later, purportedly as a jeweler, in Spain where he died. This and the following painting are comparable to van Rijssen's Southern Landscape with Shepherds Among Ruins, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Dijon, inv. no. 159.
