A wooded landscape with riders approaching a group of gypsies

The stylistic similarity to drawings from circa 1629-1630 (cf. Keyes, op. cit., nos. D 23, D 132, D 152, figs. 262, 264, 320), especially in the way the trees are rendered, suggests the approximate date of this drawing combining some of the motifs most favoured by Van de Velde.
