Zandleven has painted lots of farms and other (small) houses. A characteristic detail is often the cut-off rooftop.
The left of the two paintings with a house and pump was shown as part of the collection of Studio 2000 in Amsterdam in the October 1994 exhibition: "Jan Adam Zandleven, De werkelijkheid als een wonder". In 1995 it decorated the front page of the periodical Kunstwerk. After the auction at Sotheby's Amsterdam in October 1999 we lost trace of the painting.

The painting on the right has almost the same dimensions. It was already described by Ir. D. Bloemsma in 1959 as belonging to Miss E.M. Daendels in Apeldoorn. He used the title: "small house in the wood with heavy trunks; start yellow/brown". It was lent to the Dordrecht Museum for the Zandleven exhibition in 1962, where it was shown as "Cottage in a wooded setting, on the right a water-pump". It was also present at the Zandleven exhibition in Rhenen in 1985. In 2001 Miss Daendels died, and her paintings were sold at Sotheby's Amsterdam.

Although the second picture is somewhat blurred, two things are very clear:
1. it is the same house
2. the paintings are different
Also it is clear that both paintings are made from the same place
