## Commentary

Bril can be considered the inventor of this type of landscape painting, in which Roman ruins, depicted in great detail but often grouped together in a completely fanciful manner, are used as background for scenes from everyday life. The painting is signed with Bril&#39;s &#39;monogram&#39;, a pair of eyeglasses \(a play on the word &#39;bril&#39;, which is Dutch for spectacles\).
