This etching, "Gezicht op Dordrecht," is a detailed view of the city of Dordrecht from the water, likely from the Merwede river. Created after 1715 by an anonymous artist, the print showcases the cityscape, including buildings and a prominent church. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the depiction of the ships and the surrounding water. The etching's frame features an inscription, "Van de Merwede," which clarifies the vantage point of the perspective. This artwork provides a glimpse into the city's maritime importance in the 18th century and serves as a valuable historical record for the Dutch city of Dordrecht.
