In this large canvas Delft is seen from the northwest, with the Delftse Vliet in the foreground. This river was the main route for travel to The Hague and from there on to Leiden and other cities to the north. On the horizon the Nieuwe Kerk, the Stadhuis, and the Oude Kerk dominate the view from left to right. Both this painting and Vroom's other View of Delft have been owned by the city of Delft since the seventeenth century.
