De Dam met het Stadhuis in aanbouw

From the eastside of Dam Square we overlook the crowded square. The new town hall is still under construction. At the Waag building traders are having their wares weighed. In the foreground vegetables and fish are being sold. Possibly, the artist based his view on a print by Jacob van der Ulft. Because of this, the Waag is depicted extremely large, as is the choir of the Nieuwe Kerk.
