Catalogue Note
The present work is similar to a smaller version of the same view titled Ophaalbrug, over een vaart, waarin schepen (Vlaardingen?), measuring 31.5 by 40cm (recorded in Willem Laanstra, Jan Weissenbruch. Schilder graficus 1822-1880, Amsterdam, 1986, no. O/31,5). Both oils appear to be based on a drawing of the same view in Weissenbruch's sketchbook, now in the collection of the Haags Gemeentemuseum.
