This anonymous engraving depicts the Siege of Rheinberg in 1601 by Maurice of Nassau, the stadholder of the Dutch Republic. The artwork shows the city in detail, including its fortifications, as well as the surrounding countryside. This was a pivotal moment in the Eighty Years' War, and the artwork serves as a visual record of a key event in Dutch history. It is part of a larger series of engravings documenting the military exploits of Maurice of Nassau, and it is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
