'De Blinkert' is still a row of dunes to the west of Haarlem, which has over the centuries provided an excellent vantage point from which artists could make panoramic views of Haarlem. The location is also close to the famous inn 'Kraantje Lek', another familiar subject for artists, which is represented in the excellent drawing by Paulus van Liender in this collection (see lot 326).
