Snow, private collection

Whistler sat in the Café de Beurs, next to the gatefouse known as the Beurspoortje, looking out over the Rokin (a canal, which was later filled in) towards the building that housed the society Arti et Amicitiae. Heijbroek comments that the Café and the railing in the foreground were demolished in 1912, as was the Beurspoortje. 1
