Created between 1736 and 1773, the artwork showcases a view of a milestone or boundary marker, the Elsrijk estate, and a bridge with figures walking across it. Punt's meticulous attention to detail brings the scene to life, capturing the tranquility of the countryside and the human presence within it.
