Om maleriet
In the foreground, a dog laps eagerly at a pool of water while a duck dives for food. To the left, a horseman and three travelers on foot walk up the bank to a road. In the middle ground, a lone man fishes in a shallow pool that leads back to a brightly illuminated village. Sketchily painted clouds fill the sky above; sunlight filters through the grove of trees below, lighting areas of the forest and casting reflections in the water. Meindert Hobbema captured both the tranquility and transience of the natural world by masterfully rendering the effects of light and shade, smooth water, billowing clouds, and soaring birds.

Imens i livet hos Meindert Hobbema
Hele livet1668
Becomes a wine-gauger for the Amsterdam tax
He takes the well-paid post of wine-gauger for the Amsterdam octroi, assessing and collecting local taxes on wine, and keeps it until the end of his life; presumably the place was found through his wife’s former employer. After this he devotes noticeably less time to painting, but does not give it up altogether, as was long believed.
2 November 1668
Marries Eeltje Vinck
At the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam he marries Eeltje Vinck from Gorcum, who had been in the service of Burgomaster Lambert Reynst; she is four years older than he. The witnesses at the wedding are the bride’s brother Cornelius Vinck and Jacob van Ruisdael.
1669–1676
Five children are born
The couple have five children: Eduart (1669), Eduart (1670), Pieternella (1671), Pieternella (1673) and Neeltje (1676); two of them die in infancy. The family lived on the Rozengracht in the Jordaan, opposite Rembrandt’s house.
