De Momper painted a large number hay harvest scenes of varying sizes throughout the 1610s and 1620s. Almost all follow the same compositional arrangement, with a hay or corn field set on gently rising ground above a valley floor. They are often populated by the same figures. The small staffageThis word, pronounced as French, is used in both English and German to describe the figures and animals which animate a picture intended essentially as a landscape or veduta; in other words, figures which are not really essential and could be added by another painter. In the highly specialized world of the Dutch painters of the 17th century this was very often the case, so that a landscape painter like Wynants rarely did his own staffage; whereas Canaletto or Guardi always did. in the present painting are attributed to Jan Brueghel the Elder.
