Additional Source Text:
"Representing a most beautiful and romantic landskape, with mountains, ruins, waters. Small figures of men, horses, dogs, birds, &c. (much in the same stile of the great Landskip of Roeland Savary engraved at Vienna by [Isaac] Major 1622. where there is a St. Jerome grotto in one corner) this painting has been much injured, appears to me to be done by the same hand or some other eminent painter in his stile. it is above 16 inches high, & near 25 in. broad I have had a frame made for it of a broad black moulding with a small inner moulding gilt."
Notes:
Pictured here is the engraving that Du Simitière likened to his landscape painting: etching with engraving by Isaac Major/Mayor (1588-after 1642), after Roelant Savery (1576-1639), Landscape with St. Jerome (1622).
