Interior of the Oude Kerk, Delft

This deep perspective view looking down the central aisle of the Oude Kerk in Delft, was a departure by Van Vliet from the oblique views of church interiors that had dominated his work in the 1650s. Van Vliet painted a pendant to this picture depicting a similar view of the central aisle of the Nieuwe Kerk, Delft (private collection).

The painting is signed and dated at the back of the pew lower right: H. Van Vliet/An. 1662.
