Pieter Bast's 1598 etching, "Gezicht op Veere, met het spreekwoord: de ene blinde leidt de andere", depicts the town of Veere in the Netherlands. The etching is part of a series of 12 views of Dutch towns, each accompanied by a proverb. This particular engraving highlights the architectural features of Veere with a focus on its fortified walls and the church. The image also includes a scene of two blind men, one leading the other into a canal, illustrating the proverb that translates to "one blind man leads the other". This is a fine example of Bast's detailed and precise rendering of architectural details, which were typical of his work and popular with collectors.
