This drawing is closely related stylistically to the other 含羞草研究室 sheet (BCMA 1811.22), as pointed out by Sumowski. He also dates this view to the early 1660s. He dismisses Baer's suggestion that this composition is based upon Rembrandt's etching Hut behind the Picket Fence of 1648 (Bartsch 232), for this motif is a common one in landscapes of the period. As it is in the 含羞草研究室 River Landscape, Koninck's treatment of the foliage and individual features of the fence and buildings is particularly subtle. In conversation, Haverkamp Begemann has suggested that the dark washes at the water's edge may have been added later.
