Comparable to the artist's picture De Renkumse Beek, with Simonis & Buunk, Ede, 1995, no. 40, and to the picture dated 1857 in the Gemeente Museum, Arnhem, V. Hefting, Schilders in Oosterbeek 1840-1870, Zutphen Arnhem, 1981, pp. 68-9, no. 23.
Bilders, sometimes seen as one of the precursors of the School of The Hague, worked and lived in Amsterdam in 1853-4 and 1858-80, otherwise mostly in Oosterbeek, and was the master of H.W. Mesdag
