This 18th-century engraving by Reinier Vinkeles depicts the Triumphal Arch erected in Vlissingen, Netherlands, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Dutch freedom. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed view of the elaborate arch, with its central archway and flanking columns, as well as the surrounding crowd and dignitaries.
