This is a view of the choir of the Noorderkerk at Hoorn in North Holland. Services were held in this part of the church for the poor, who were given food and peat, which they used for fuel. This area was divided from the main church by a decorative screen. The carving above the door bears the town motto, ‘Gaat Hoorn Het Woort’ (‘Trumpet the Word’), where the word ‘Hoorn’ is represented by a carved image of a horn.

Bosboom also produced a related watercolour, 'Consistoriekamer te Hoorn' (The Amsterdam Museum), an oil version, 'Kerkinterieur' (Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam) and an oil study (Private collection).
