Koninck painted genre subjects and portraits but is now best known for his large, panoramic views of the coastal plains of Holland. This landscape has been dated between 1655 and 1660. The broad handling of paint supports the supposition that the artist had studied with Rembrandt. There is a similarly extensive view in the National Gallery in London, dated 1655.
