Specialist note

Anthonie Jansz. van der Croos worked in Alkmaar in 1649 before settling in The Hague, where he became a founding member of the artists' confraternity, Pictura. This fresh, beautifully preserved panel is the pendant to one depicting Leiden on the horizon that was exhibited at Maastricht in 1985 (op. cit., no. 181).
