This drawing is part of a long rectangular drawing that was once cut in two. The right section is now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. The original scene represented both the Zuid-Holland town of Geervliet and the walled Hof van Putten Castle. Despite missing its right side, the charming drawing can stand alone thanks to the cropping of the tree in the foreground and the painterly effect of the brush and grey wash.
