visited Gerard de Lairesse and Melchior d'Hondecoeter, where he saw a flower piece by Maria van Oosterwijk, who just was preparing to go to London (Upmark 1900, p. 125); furthermore he visited Bartholomeus Eggers, where he saw 3 statues of previous electors of Brandenburg to complete the 8 statues that already were put up in the great hall of the palace there; he also saw a bust of the Elector in marble, as well as busts from Apollo and Diana. Eggers would leave Amsterdam in a month and go to Berlin to erect the statues himself (Upmark 1900, p. 126); He also visited the marble workshop of Wilhelm da Goniar on the Prinsengracht and de lead caster Bernardus Dronrijp (Upmark 1900, p. 126-127).

Furthermore he paid a visit to the Town Hall itself that was not ready yet (Upmark 1900, p. 127-128). In the Nieuwe Kerk he saw the tomb of Michiel de Ruyter (Upmark 1900, p. 128). He also makes mention of the Rasp- and Spinhuis and the Amsterdam Theatre where he attended to the opera Cadmus (Upmark 1900, p. 128).
