Gezicht op de Plompetoren te Utrecht 1773 - 1792

This etching, "Gezicht op de Plompetoren te Utrecht," by Hendrik Spilman, depicts the Plompe Toren, a historic tower in Utrecht, Netherlands, as it appeared in 1792. The detailed, somewhat realistic, illustration showcases the tower and surrounding fortifications from a distant perspective. The scene includes a figure standing in the foreground, emphasizing the scale of the tower, which is seen as part of a larger walled structure. Spilman’s work is significant as it provides a visual record of the tower before its partial demolition in the 19th century.
