"Overgave van Oostende, 1604" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created between 1782 and 1784. The print depicts the surrender of the city of Ostend in 1604, during the Eighty Years' War. The scene shows a group of soldiers standing before a city gate, with a boat in the foreground. Fokke, born in 1712 and known for his detailed engravings, captures the historical event in this small but intricately detailed artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
