Haarlem School, Mid-17th CenturyLandscape with Figures and Livestock Along a PathUnsigned, with three wax collector's stamps on the reverse.
Oil on panel, 15 3/4 x 21 3/8 in. (40.0 x 54.5 cm), framed.

N.B. The landscape at hand was originally attributed to Aert van der Neer (Dutch, 1603-1677). However, when images were recently reviewed by the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History), the work was found to have more similarities to paintings from the Haarlem School, more in the spirit of works by Guillam Dubois (Dutch, c. 1610-1680) but not by his hand.
