This 1715 engraving, titled "Neptunus-altaar gevonden bij Domburg op Walcheren," is an anonymous depiction of a Roman altar dedicated to Neptune, the god of the sea. The image shows Neptune standing within a shrine, holding his trident and a globe. The ornate details of the altar, including the sculpted tulips, suggest the careful observation and meticulous skill of the anonymous artist. Now in the Rijksmuseum, the engraving serves as a visual record of a past Roman presence in the Netherlands.
