There is some evidence that this painting has masonic imagery. The brace on the gate is not normal for a gate. It would normally run from one corner to the next. Instead there is an inverted square on it. The square is the emblem worn by the master of the lodge. The traveler (a commonly used name for Masons) is heading Easterly as all maps North is the top of the map. There other things in the painting that point to masonry.
