This slightly elevated view shows the countryside around Het Steen, the castle that Rubens bought in 1635. Here he painted landscapes for his own pleasure, away from the demands of wealthy and powerful patrons. In this case, he painted over a figure subject which shows through to the right by the shepherd.
