It is interesting to compare this painting with Houckgeest's painting of the same view in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. The man and boy on the left and a couple and child in front of the tomb were adopted from Houckgeest but are now less distant and isolated. The figures in the centre have become a second family with a young servant and greyhounds, one of them catching the other dog's attention and a brilliant fall of light. The architectural motifs are obviously derived from Houckgeest.
