In a woodland meadow sur- rounded by elms a herd of deer are grazing. A stream flows diagonally across the meadow, and is crossed on the right by a bridge. On the nearer bank, in the centre, a hind drinks at the stream. Opposite her, on the farther bank, a stag lies on the grass. On the same side, farther away, another hind is grazing. Evening ; the lower parts of the tree-tops are in shadow, and only the uppermost branches catch the light of the setting sun. Closely related to 207 (National Gallery, London). Signed in full on the right at foot on a beam of the bridge, and dated 1658 ; panel, io inches by 15 inches. Bought in 1868 by the Frankfort Kunstverein for the gallery.

In the middle distance tall trees grow in the great meadow, and shade a large part of the foreground. In front are various plants. Through the tree-trunks is seen the sunlit distance. Stags, roe-deer, and a horse graze on the meadow and drink at a stream. In the Van der Vugt catalogue cows and figures also are mentioned. A masterpiece of the painter's.
