This colored etching by Georg Balthasar Probst, titled "Gezicht op de Oude Kerk te Delft" (View of the Old Church in Delft), depicts a street scene in Delft, Netherlands, likely sometime between 1742 and 1801. The Oude Kerk (Old Church) is prominently displayed in the center, with its distinctive spire reaching towards a pale pink sky. The scene is populated with figures, some engaged in daily activities, others walking along the cobbled street. A canal runs alongside the church, adding to the picturesque feel of the scene. The etching provides a glimpse into 18th-century Delft life, showcasing both the architectural grandeur of the church and the everyday activities of the citizens.
