An everyday scene by a canal in the North Holland town of Enkhuizen: people walking along the street, poultry, dogs and a horse. A peasant leads his horse and the woman on the right sells vegetables from a stall. Cornelis Springer, was a specialist in townscapes. He aimed as far as possible to portray exactly what he saw, painting with a fine brush to obtain the utmost precision. Each leaf and each brick is minutely defined.
