Keirincx trained with Abraham Govaerts, became an independent master in 1618/19 and later worked with Cornelis van Poelenburgh at the English court in London. In the tradition of his teacher, Govaerts, he first specialised in sylvan landscapes before turning to giant trees standing by themselves in a flat landscape. There are numerous examples of his cooperation with figure painters such as Cornelis van Poelenburgh. The prominently placed oak and the colouration date it to the 1640s. A similar drawing of an oak is at the Bremen Kunsthalle (Inv. No. 1219).
