3. Het Heike (St. Willibrorddorp) lies about 3 km south-west of Etten. The first drawing could be Landscape with a hut, 45.5 x 61 cm (F 842 / JH 5). The second drawing mentioned, that of the ‘Protestant Barn’ in Roosendaalseweg remains unidentified. Hut (F 875 / JH 4) probably dates from the Brussels period (cf. the related drawing Winter F 1235 / JH C.B.).
