"The Uffenbach brothers are on their way from Haarlem to Amsterdam, following the Amsterdamse vaart. They enjoy the view of the many people on the ice, skating in both directions, and the vendors of brandy and cakes. They arrive in Amsterdam and lodge in the inn "Wapen van Emden". The next morning, they first visit the freight forwarder Mittendorp to inquire about their cases and their merchant München. Then they visit the painter Le Blon. Uffenbach comments on his invention of colour printing, producing prints that look just like paintings.Uffenbach praises Le Blon's only example present in the workshop this day: The penitent Mary Magdelena."
