The artwork depicts a panoramic view of Leiden, showcasing the city's skyline and river, which is likely the Rhine. The composition includes a foreground of trees and a small group of figures on horseback, adding a sense of scale and perspective. The title and inscription are carefully rendered in a decorative script, reflecting the graphic artistry of the period. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a glimpse into Dutch art and printing practices of the 19th century.
