Landscape with a Group of Trees at the Shore of a Lake, Three Riders on the Road in the Foreground is a 1667 oil by Jacques d'Arthois, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Städel Museum.
This painting shows a serene lake scene with a group of trees at the shore. In the foreground, three riders are on the road, while a boat is docked near the trees. The atmosphere is peaceful, with a calm lake and a serene sky. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The trees and the riders are well-defined, while the background is softer and more muted.

Jacques d'Arthois (12 October 1613 (baptised) – May 1686) was a Flemish painter and tapestry designer who specialized in wooded landscapes with figures.
