IODOCUS MOMPERUS, ANTVERP. PICTOR.
Momperi Campos, recreantes lumina Flores,
   Et Montes, Fontes data bene docta manus,
Flumina quaéque ruunt celso de vertice saxi,

Translation of Inscription:

Joos de Momper of Antwerp, painter.

The well-taught hand of Momper offers fields, flowers that refresh the eyes,¹ and mountains [and] fountains, also rivers which rush from the high peak of a stone, and cliffs, rocks, and headlong paths.
