Der Amsterdamer Landschaftsmaler Meindert Hobbema war ein Schüler von Jacob van Ruisdael. Ausgehend von den Arbeiten seines Lehrers fand er schnell zu seinem eigenen Stil und seiner eigenen Thematik: Bewaldete Landschaften, die vielfach Ausblicke in eine helle, sonnenbeschiene Tiefe gewähren, und mit kleinen Häusern, Wind- oder Wassermühlen sowie stillen Teichen harmonisch aufgelockert werden. Vorherrschend ist eine Atmosphäre der Ruhe und Beschaulichkeit, die auch von den meist nur wenigen Staffagefiguren unterstützt wird, die in friedlicher Gelassenheit ihren Alltagsgeschäften nachgehen.
Das Oeuvre Hobbemas ist nicht sehr umfangreich; er lebte in bescheidenen Verhältnissen und nahm 1668 das Amt eines städtischen Eichmeisters für Wein an. Danach malte er anscheinend nur noch selten.

The Amsterdam landscape painter Meindert Hobbema was a pupil of Jacob van Ruisdael. Based on the works of his teacher, he quickly established his own unique style and set of motifs, mainly painting wooded landscapes, often opening onto bright, sunny valleys speckled with little houses, windmills, watermills and calm ponds. The works evoke an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, which is accentuated by the serene way in which the figures who populate them go about their daily activities. Hobbema's oeuvre is not especially large and he is known to have lived in relatively modest circumstances. He took up a position as municipal wine gauger in 1668 and apparently rarely painted after this.
