Eversen was known for his cityscapes, capturing the charm of Dutch urban architecture. This drawing offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the Netherlands during that time. The elevated gable signifies the architectural style of the Dutch Golden Age, reflecting the economic prosperity and social mobility of the 17th century. By choosing to depict this architectural feature, Eversen subtly evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
