This view of the bend in the Herengracht near the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat in Amsterdam is taken from the bridge near the Leidsestraat, that is from the west. This painting with a remarkable perspective was executed on the basis of several preparatory pen drawings.
The painting is signed and dated on a slab on the canalside.
