River Landscape with a Duck Hunter is a 1600 ink by Aegidius Sadeler II, a Renaissance work, depicting Forest, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a serene river scene with a hunter and his dog. It's an engraving with lots of detail. The hunter is waiting for ducks, and the atmosphere is quiet. The artist put a lot of work into the trees and plants. The engraving technique allows for fine lines and textures. Check out the work of artist Sadeler II, Aegidius, for more like this.
