The composition follows that of Avercamp's original, last recorded with P. Graupe, Paris, in 1939. When Clara Welcker included this painting in her seminal monograph on Avercamp she presumably only knew it from an old photograph. There are further copies of the lost original, for example Welcker no. 256, which was with Jacques Goudstikker in 1932.
