Landscape with a Peasant Couple and Baby

Executed with loose, quick lines suggestive of a rapid sketch, the print emphasizes the silhouettes and forms of trees and architectural elements over minute details, reflecting van Uden’s characteristic landscape approach.

Created around 1643, the print bears an inscription naming Lucas van Uden alongside another, unidentified individual, whose role or relation to the work remains unclear.

Typical of van Uden’s collaborative practice, this work may have involved input from a figure painter, though it remains one of his original compositions. Similar pieces can be found in collections like The Cleveland Museum of Art.

As part of van Uden’s oeuvre, Landscape with a Peasant Couple and Baby contributes to the Flemish landscape tradition of the 17th century, characterized by meticulous naturalism and everyday life themes.
