Lot Essay

Depicted is a view of the Dutch village Leidschendam along the river Vliet between Leiden and Rijswijk. Weissenbruch shows us two of the well known three bridges 'de drie bruggetjes'. At the left side he depicted the reformed church (so-called Peperbus) and at the right side, the sunlit Delftsekade with numerous figures. A lithograph after this painting was published in the Kunstkronijk, 1857, pp. 94-95, ill. 24.

Please compare to a painting by the same hand with a similar composition titled Vue du Leidschendam sold in these rooms on 21 November 2013, lot 205 (see: Laanstra 1986, no: O/17 5-1, (panel, 17,5 x 24 cm.) and a preliminary drawing with the same composition in the collection of the Amsterdams Historisch Museum (see: Laanstra 1986, p. 30, no. 7).
