Onderhandeling tussen afgevaardigden van Amsterdam en graaf Willem Frederik bij Hofstede Welna aan de Amstel, 1650 1747 - 1759

This 18th-century etching, "Onderhandeling tussen afgevaardigden van Amsterdam en graaf Willem Frederik bij Hofstede Welna aan de Amstel, 1650," by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, depicts a historic meeting between Amsterdam delegates and Count William Frederick, a key event that occurred in 1650. The detailed scene unfolds on the banks of the Amstel River, capturing the formality of the negotiation with a group of figures on horseback, a large crowd gathered by the water's edge, and a boat bearing the count and his entourage. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into a significant moment in Dutch history.
