About this work
The widow Maria Everdina Bolten commissioned these and two more wall-size landscapes to adorn the garden room of her house on Amsterdam’s Nieuwe Doelenstraat. The viewer is transported from the heart of a bustling city to an oasis far beyond it. It is as if one gazes through a window at the river flowing under an opened drawbridge with a bustling farm, inn, and a country house along the banks.
