Joost van Geel's "Gezicht op Rotterdam (zesde deel)" is a detailed etching depicting a panoramic view of the city of Rotterdam from the water. The etching, created after 1666, shows ships sailing on the water in the foreground, with the cityscape of Rotterdam in the background. The composition is topped by a cherub holding a shield bearing the city's coat of arms. The work's meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the city make it a valuable historical document and a testament to van Geel's skill as an engraver. This etching captures a moment in the city's history and is a great example of the genre of cityscape views.
