This print, created between 1890 and 1910 by Hübner & Van Santen Roeloffzen, depicts the Dutch East India Company's fort in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The artwork shows a cityscape viewed from the sea, with a single sailing ship in the foreground and several smaller boats in the middle distance. The distant view features a fortified city, possibly a port, with many buildings and the Dutch East India Company's flag flying. This print offers a glimpse into the Dutch colonial presence in Sri Lanka during the 17th and 18th centuries.
