Two views of Wieringen

The top drawing is a distant view. It shows a large tower on the left, and across a narrow stretch of water, a church with houses on the coast running off to the right.

The bottom drawing is a rather nearer but still distant view showing the same church on the left, with the coast continued to the right.

This is an unsigned pencil drawing by the Younger. It has been approximately dated by the subject and style

In the Ingram Collection (623) there are similar drawings of Wieringen dated 1656.
