Hofstede de Groot (op. cit.) identifies the present work as possibly no. 34 of the pictures assigned to the painter's son Jan in the inventory of his widowed mother's effects taken on May 18, 1712.

Built for the Huydecoper family on the River Vecht, near Maarssen, between Utrecht and Muiden, Goudestein was one of the grandest of the country retreats commissioned by wealthy Amsterdam merchants in the 17th century. The estate remained in the Huydecoper family until 1955 when it was sold to the town of Maarssen.

The original 17th century house is known to us today from the numerous contemporary paintings and engraving as well as from a number of works by van der Heyden who treated the subject on several occasions.
