A rural landscape: a stream runs through wooded fields; a horseman has stopped to allow his horse to drink. Engraving by S. à Bolswert after Sir P.P. Rubens.

The work is described by Adler as follows: "In the centre foreground of a flat landscape of bushes, trees and meadows is a dam-like mound, behind which a stretch of water is visible. Through a narrow, brick-lined gap in the mound, bridged by a single log, a stream of water flows for a short distance into a pool in the right foreground (left in the engraving). A peasant, mounted on a horse, is watering it on the further side of the mound. The horse and rider are seen obliquely from behind; the horse's head and legs are concealed by the mound. Trees grow on the further banks of the two streams, to right and left of the picture. In the centre there is a view of meadowland beyond the gap in the mound, with the thatched roof of a large farm building, on the horizon."--Adler, loc. cit.
