This detailed map of the province of Utrecht was engraved by Thomas Doesburgh after 1696. The map, which is part of a larger series, is a fine example of Dutch cartographic art. It features a classical allegorical figure representing the province, sitting on a horse and surrounded by cherubs, with additional figures representing the surrounding rivers. The map itself shows the landscape and settlements of the region in great detail. The map was commissioned by the States of Utrecht and is an important document of the region's history. This map, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a valuable resource for scholars and those interested in cartography, Dutch history, and the art of engraving.
