The top engraving depicts a street scene in Sloten. On the left side of a wide dirt road stands a wooden building, the courthouse Richt-huys court-house/hall of justice, with several people standing near its entrance. A row of tall, leafy trees extends into the background. On the right side, there are several brick houses and a horse-drawn carriage. Small figures of pedestrians are scattered throughout the scene under a sky with light clouds.
The bottom engraving shows the church of Sloten. The church building has a large nave with pointed-arch windows and a slender spire. It is set within a cemetery kerkhof churchyard filled with rows of flat rectangular gravestones. The churchyard is densely planted with tall trees and enclosed by a wooden fence. In the foreground, figures of men and women walk and converse. Houses are visible in the background to the left of the churchyard.
