Catalogue Note
The view depicted is of the Church of St. Martin in Woudrichem, a village in the province of North Brabant. The present work can be compared to a very similar depiction of the same view by Jan de Beijer, dated 10 August 1750, in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.1 Indeed it has previously been suggested that van Liender owned a sketchbook by de Beijer, which may have contained this scene.
