This detailed drawing, "Plattegrond en doorsnede van Friese en Hollandse forten tijdens het beleg van Bergen op Zoom, 1622," by Franciscus van Schooten (1581-1646) depicts a plan and cross-section of two fortresses, one of Friesland and one of Holland, during the Siege of Bergen op Zoom in 1622. The artist employs precise lines and scales to represent the intricate fortifications and strategic structures, making it a valuable historical and architectural document. The print, likely a page from a larger work, showcases van Schooten's skill as a technical illustrator and the importance of engineering in 17th-century warfare.
