View of the Golden Bend in the Herengracht, 1671-1672. Here we see the canal as it was, shortly before 1672. The crisis that would mark that year had yet to break, and construction is proceeding apace. One house in the background is wrapped in scaffolding; at the start of Spiegelstraat workers are laying paving stones, while building materials lie round about. These decorative yet stark, classical buildings appear here to their best advantage.
