Condition
In overall good condition. The panel is formed of a single circular plank, uncradled, flat and stable. The paint surface is relatively clean and the varnish is slightly discoloured and matte. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a campaign of wash restoration throughout the sky, and there are a handful of small spot retouchings in the landscape in the lower half of the panel. Offered in a plain wood Dutch-style octagonal frame in very good condition.

Catalogue Note
This is an early work by Van der Neer, painted while his style adhered to the Flemish landscape tradition espoused by his friend Jochem Camphuysen, one of Van der Neer's key early influences.
