Anthonie van Borssom (Amsterdam 1630/1-1677)

We are grateful to Laurens Schoemaker of the RKD, The Hague, for identifying the view as seen from the northern north-west of Haarlem. He kindly has identified the various buildings, from left to right, as the Klokhuis just behind the Kruispoort, the St. Bavo church, (probably) the Arme Kinderhuis and the Pinkmolen, all within the ramparts on the northern side of the town. Another view in which the Pinkmolen is prominently depicted, is the View of the Ramparts of Haarlem with the Pinkmolen by Gerrit Berckheyde in the Philadelphia Museum, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania).
