Gezicht op Wijk bij Duurstede 1683 - 1714

This etching, "Gezicht op Wijk bij Duurstede," by Thomas Doesburgh, depicts a panoramic view of the Dutch town of Wijk bij Duurstede. Created between 1683 and 1714, the artwork showcases the city's skyline, including its iconic church towers and windmills, from across the river. The foreground portrays rural life, with boats, animals, and a glimpse of local agriculture. The use of detailed etching techniques and a clear perspective make the artwork a valuable historical record of the town and its surroundings. This print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
