Landscape with a bird catcher (or snippenflouwer) who has stretched a standing net between trees for catching woodcocks (the net is a so-called laatflouw) which he holds with a rope. At dawn or dusk, he waits for the woodcock approaching in the air and soon they will fly into the net. A small crowd watches. In the moonlit landscape stands a mill. With four lines of text in Latin, Landscape with Woodcock Catcher, Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, print maker: anonymous, after: Peter Paul Rubens, (mentioned on object), Antwerp, 1596 - 1684, paper, engraving, h 328 mm × w 461 mm
