Gezicht op Vlissingen, vanaf de Schelde gezien 1600 - 1650

"Gezicht op Vlissingen, vanaf de Schelde gezien" (View of Vlissingen, seen from the Scheldt), created between 1600 and 1650, is a delicate drawing by Dutch artist Abraham de Verwer. This pen and ink drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed yet restrained depiction of the Dutch city of Vlissingen, seen from the Scheldt River. The precise composition and light washes of grey create a sense of serenity and historical accuracy, highlighting the city's fortified walls and bustling harbor. De Verwer's drawing is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch landscape art, capturing a moment in time and showcasing the artistic mastery of this era.
