English painter John Constable saw the painting in 1826 and wrote "It haunts my mind and clings to my heart". [3]

The painting is catalogue number 121 in Seymour Slive's 2001 catalogue raisonné of Ruisdael. [1] The painting is number 165 in the 1911 catalogue raisonné by art historian Hofstede de Groot, [4] and number 2025 in the museum's catalogue. Its dimensions are 36 cm x 42 cm. It is monogrammed in the lower left. [1] It is not dated, but Slive writes it is dateable to about 1653. The monogram uses two different hues to give a three dimensional effect, a technique Ruisdael applied in a few other paintings that were actually dated 1652 and 1653. [3] Museum Boymans van Beuningen dates it circa 1660. [2]

It was restored in 1997. [1]
