The ford is a 1670 paint by Johannes Siberechts, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a woman crossing a shallow river, accompanied by cows. She is dressed in a white shirt and blue skirt, holding a basket on her head. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the woman's reflection is visible in the water, adding depth to the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of tranquility, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman and her surroundings. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Johannes Siberechts.
Jan Siberechts (1627–1703) was a Flemish landscape painter who, after a successful career in Antwerp, emigrated in the latter part of his life to England.
