Rembrandt rarely executed prints solely in drypoint. Since 1990, the precise location is thought to be the Huis Te Vraag Inn on the Sloterweg. The house with a veranda affords a view of the canal at the back. However, this waterway is not large enough to accommodate a sailing boat. Is the vessel one of Rembrandt’s imaginary additions?
