Hans-Ulrich Beck dates the present composition to circa 1633. By the end of the decade the artist had achieved notable recognition as a landscapist and a certain amount of stability in his private life. Despite losing a great deal of money in 1637, supposedly through a failed venture in the tulip market, he bought a house on the Singelgracht in The Hague in 1639 and was appointed head of the Guild of Saint Luke there in 1638 and 1640. He was astonishingly productive in the 1630s and 1640s with over 450 known dated works from the latter decade alone.
