The top half presents a bird's-eye view, showcasing the intricate design of the fort. The lower half presents a lively scene of soldiers engaged in battle, highlighting the practical application of these fortifications in the 17th century. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the strategic thinking and artistry of the Dutch Golden Age.
