Label TextPieter van der Hulst, who is thought to have been born in Malines, was registered as a master in the Antwerp guild in 1589. The few signed works by him are all landscapes or genre scenes painted in a very fluid style. This painting exhibits his characteristic treatment of foliage and greatly stylized, almost toy-like, figures and animals.
