Lot Essay

The Haarlemmepoort, depicted here from the north side of the Haarlemmerplein, was designed by architect Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621) in 1615 as part of the new fortifications surrounding the recently expanded margins of Amsterdam. Today it has been replaced with a neo-classical model commissioned in 1837. Interestingly, the Stadsarchief Amsterdam holds a further drawing of the Haarlemmepoort by ten Compe and Buys, this time seen from the South of the square (inv. 010097010748). Ten Compe depicted an almost identical view to that in the present drawing, now in the Amsterdam Museum (inv. SA 40893). In this painting the staffage is altered and the perspective appears to be a few meters further to the left.
