A rectangular engraving depicting a Dutch canal scene. The waterway (Overtoomse Vaart) occupies the center and left, with a small barge being propelled by a pole. On the right bank, a wide road or path features a horse-drawn carriage and several pedestrians. Gabled houses and a large building line the banks under a cloudy sky. A wooden structure is visible in the lower right foreground.
A rectangular engraving showing a large, prominent gabled building identified as "Het Hoff van Holland." The building has three main gables and stands behind a row of young trees. In the foreground, people are active on a quay next to a canal where a small boat is docked. To the left and right of the main building are other gabled structures. Barrels and various figures are scattered across the quay.
