This 1630 etching by Cornelis Danckerts depicts the siege and capture of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange. The artwork is a detailed map of the city's defenses, with a key showing the positions of the Dutch and Spanish armies. At the bottom of the map, there are depictions of the leaders of the Dutch forces and their horses. The map provides historical context for the Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch, a pivotal event in the Eighty Years' War. This artwork is an example of 17th-century Dutch etching, and can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
