Roghman created a picturesque portrayal of Nederhorst, the church and castle, and a carriage making its way across the bridge right up to the gate. The drawing’s original panoramic character became clear when this sheet was reunited with the recently gifted right half. It was not unusual for art dealers to cut drawings into separate pieces. Two or three individual drawings often fetched more than a single large one.
