It was painted by Jacob van Ruisdael in 1670. The painting is one of twenty-seven works that Ruisdael produced concerning fields of grain.
Van Ruisdael is often considered the greatest Dutch landscape painter. He was probably the pupil of his father, the frame maker and artist Isaak de Goyer, who later called himself Ruisdael.
He received his formal training in landscape painting in Germany, and traveled frequently between the two countries before settling in Amsterdam.
