This view of the wooded banks of a canal or pond, with a small boat half-hidden in an inlet, occurs in several of Vlieger’s washed pen drawings and in some of his etchings, like the Small Peninsula.  A comparable drawing with a boat emerging from a thicket is in the Louvre. [Magnusson, Dutch Drawings no. 472]
