Commentary

A busy commercial center, Helvoet was situated on either side of a shipping chanel used by merchant craft and warships of the Dutch Navy. Farms and gardens occupied the surrounding lowlands. Again on May 16th, Bodmer sketched a view of a farmer's house during an afternoon excursion into the countryside.
