= Exquisite drawing with an impressive degree of detail; one can count every brick in the walls of the Nieuwe Kerk. The drawing is very similar to the engraving "Gezigt op het Stadhuis, langs de noordzyde en van agteren, en op den onvolbouwden tooren der Nieuwe Kerke" made after Van Liender for Jan Wagenaar's Amsterdam in zyne opkomst, publ. in 1766.
