Summary/Abstract: Landscapes form the largest part of the collection of Dutch and Flemish art in the Kadriorg Art Museum, a branch of the Art Museum of Estonia. My present notes concern two examples in Kadriorg which have been discussed together earlier as well.The authors of both works remain unknown. One of the paintings, a wooded landscape (‘Woodland Scene’), can be considered a valuable artwork, while the other, a harvest picture (‘Village Landscape’), is by a mediocre artist. Besides attribution problems, the main aim is to draw attention to the rarity of the iconographic solution of the first painting.
