About this work

The two Blokhuizen in the Amstel outside Amsterdam, built in 1651 to defend the city after the failed attack by Willem II on Amsterdam on July 30, 1650. On the left and right of the Blokhuizen, two hameien, the predecessors of the later city gates. On the water, various small boats with swimming children. In the lower left corner, the drawn monogram of Hugo Allard.
