Adjacent to the church, the Vleeshal (Meat Hall) and the Town Hall are also depicted, showcasing the grandeur and architectural diversity of Haarlem's civic buildings.

Berckheyde's use of light and shadow in the painting is masterful, capturing the play of sunlight on the buildings and the lively atmosphere of the market square.
