Gezicht op de Oostpoort te Delft 1648 - 1671

"Gezicht op de Oostpoort te Delft," a 17th-century drawing by Jan de Bisschop, depicts the East Gate of Delft. The Dutch Golden Age artist uses delicate brushstrokes to convey the fortified gateway's grandeur, its imposing towers and walls reflected in the calm waters of the canal. The scene, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Bisschop's mastery of light and shadow, a signature style that further underscores the architectural detail of this significant landmark.
