Paulus Constantijn la Fargue (and his younger brother Jacob Elias) made several sketches of Halfweg.

Nederlandse tekenaars geboren tussen 1660 en 1745, Zwolle 1999, p86, no 68. The picturesque village of Halfweg (midway between Amsterdam and Haarlem) was popular with 18th century contemporaries of the brothers la Fargue, including Jan ten Compe, Jan Ekels the Elder and Johannes Janson, the last of which painted it at least three times. The fine classical building on the left, with its swan capped piers is the Huis Swanenburg, the seat of the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland built in 1645-8 by the architect, painter and printmaker Pieter Post (1608-1669) (see J J Terwen and K A Ottenheym, Pieter Post (1608-1669), Architect, Zutphen 1993, pp155-160). To the right is the Spaarndammer-dijk behind which is the 'IJ' (a broad river, originally a bay). In the distance can be seen the Haarlemmertrekvaart (Haarlem ship canal). Following the reclamation of the Haarlemmermeer the Huis Swanenburg became a sugar factory. Only its classical façade remains today. Mellors & Kirk is very grateful for the assistance of Dr Charles Dumas of the Netherlands Institute for rt History, The Hague in identifying the topography. The work will be included in Dr Charles Dumas' forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the La Fargue family. ++Some localised restoration in particular the golden light of the sky and details of the building but extensive other passages free from restoration although this has not been verified under uv light
