Aangemeerde schepen in de haven, nabij een ronde toren 1614 - 1664

This anonymous etching, created between 1614 and 1664, depicts a harbor scene with moored ships near a round tower. The detailed depiction of the ships, the tower, and the buildings along the shore suggests a keen observation of the Dutch maritime landscape. The use of line and hatching creates a sense of depth and perspective, highlighting the architectural features and the movement of the water. The artist's focus on the everyday life in the port city reflects the popularity of such scenes in Dutch Golden Age art.
