The picture shows a river landscape with cattle and travellers, a ruin at the right and a view of a town beyond. This Italianate landscape offers a panoramic view over an extensive river landscape, with a village in the back left and on the horizon. Izaac van Oosten liked to paint simple, open landscapes favouring Mediterranean landscapes.
