Schuylenburgh, Hendrick van

Bird's eye view of the lodge at Kazimbazar.

The lodge is surrounded by a broad wall. In the central courtyard bales are being carted about. A small chapel is depicted and to the right vegetable gardens are shown being tended by the native population. To the right of the lodge livestock is shown grazing and several tents have been put up. The upper right and central portion of the painting shows houses on the water. In the topmost righthand corner a procession is seen approaching, preceded by a standard bearer. To the left a menagerie is shown.

The painting is on loan to the Dutch Scheepvaartmuseum (shipping museum).
