River hemmed by steep hills linked by a footbridge, running through a landscape; below, at left, a country woman carrying a baby on her back and fording the river; anglers on the opposite bank. Engraved by Anton Tischler as part of 'Recueil d'estampes gravées d'après les tableaux de la galerie de S. E. M. le Comte de Brühl', a set reproducing paintings from the collection of the Count of Brühl published in Dresden in 1754. The prints that Tischler engraved for this series were all after Wouwermans, part of the strategy in this series to assign work to engravers based on their specialities.
