Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 30: 

Technical notes: The support consists of a single
piece of evenly and densely woven plain weave fabric.
There are tacking edges along all four sides, although
only fragments remain of the left edge. The painting has
been lined and on the back an inscription has been traced
with a brush:”Pieter van Bredael f. Antwerp”

The canvas was prepared with a whiteish ground followed
by a very thin and even yellowish-brown imprimatura.
The ground totally covers the texture of the canvas.
The paint is applied in thin layers except for highlights
in the sky where the impasto has been added with
vigorous brush strokes. The imprimatura has been used
as a middle tone in the foreground. The figures have
been painted directly on to the foreground and background.
The pine tree has been painted over the line
marking the horizon. There have been some colour
changes, for instance in the foliage of the trees where the
green paint now has a brown tone. The cypress now
appears to be blueish as the yellow lake has probably
faded. The painting is in poor condition. The painting
underwent conservation treatment in 1932 and 1954.

Companion piece to the previous entry (no. 29). The
painting depicts an Italian landscape with buildings
and figures as well as a cattle market. It was considered
by Thiéry-Meerendre to be a copy which is contradicted
by what seems to be a genuine signature.
