All known and dated church interiors by Van Nickelen depict Saint Bavo's. The present small-sized painting shows the church as seen from the southern aisle, looking north-east.
In this painting the artist combines influences of Pieter Jansz Saenredam and Hendrick van Vliet. The conversing gravedigger and cleric on the far right are borrowed from Van Vliet, while the placing of the vanishing point near the edge and the colour scheme were inspired by Saenredam.
