View of the Malwana fortress, with a warehouse and church, Esaias Boursse, 1662 Against the background of high -rising hills are drawn from left to right: a barn with roof; a fort with a round wall with tilting where a donjon -like structure within; A rectangular building with a gallery with six columns and a tile roof; A church -like building with a separate bell chair. In the foreground, a continuous elevation has been drawn on which people walk. Perhaps this is one of beams built. Both on the road and there before and behind his figures are sketched, eighteen in total. With the figures on the road there is one with a basket on the back, another with something like that on the floor. The five figures on the right in the foreground all wear a hat or main corner. One, dressed in jacket/shirt with long sleeves and pants, runs with a stick in the hand. Two men allow their backs to the draftsman and wear a short hip rug and a shoulder cloth. Totally straight on the ground is a man with a shoulder cloth. Some people seem to be busy with roadworks. It is probably the road along the Kelani river, at the originally Portuguese Fort Malwana (Malvana). Leaf 84 from a sketchbook with 117 sheets.
