PROBLEM: In 1695, Josua de Grave made another study of the same subject as this painting, but from a different angle. In the center fight of this painting, the roof of the Armamentarium is just visible behind a much larger gated building. An anecdote concerning this painting relates that it was chosen personally by William of Orange, although it was most likely purchased by the Rijksmuseum. The top half of this painting depicts only the sky, with very dark clouds at the top of this painting, and at the bottom of this painting, several people are standing by a boat while two women in black dresses are conversing to the side. The foreground and the background of this work are divided by a large river which reflects the buildings of the background. For ten points, identify this cityscape, a work by Jan Vermeer.
