Landscape with richly clad wanderers by a river. A seated man plays a wind instrument. Some shepherds are resting on the left side. Many goats stroll around. In the background a city with ruined buildings. In the distance mountainous landscape with small villages atop the cliffs. The inscription below: “L. S. all'amico Giacomo Zamperla” is to be dated to a later stage.
