- Curator's comments
- This is the third plate from a series of forty-eight numbered etchings showing landscapes, views of villages, farms, gates and castles; for comment and the frontispiece see 2011,7073.1.
The first four etchings of this series are by Pieter van der Borcht (New Hollstein 203-206) and probably made around 1601 for this edition. It is unclear who the designer of these plates is: Cornelis Cort is mentioned on the frontispiece, but he is not particularly known as a landscape artist.
