Beverwijk: view on Peperstraat from Koningstraat with the Wijker Toren

Jan Ekels the Elder (1724 Amsterdam -1781, Amsterdam), was a scholar of Dirk Dalens, the younger. He painted views of cities in the manner of Jan ten Compe. His pictures are generally of a small size, and are highly finished, with a good effect of light and shade.
