"Gezicht op een stadswal met een bolwerk" is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Jan (I) Griffier dating back to the late 17th century. The artwork, measuring 96 mm in height and 155 mm in width, depicts a view of a city wall and a fortified rampart. The composition is dominated by the wall, partially obscured by greenery, with a glimpse of a water feature in the foreground. The piece is characteristic of Griffier's style, known for detailed depictions of urban landscapes and architectural elements. This piece is a testament to Griffier's meticulous observation of the built environment and his ability to capture the nuances of light and shadow in his work.
