Riviergezicht met een stadswal 1742 - 1784

"Riviergezicht met een stadswal" (River View with a City Wall) is an etching by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman, created between 1742 and 1784. The artwork depicts a serene river scene with a fortified wall and a building on the right side, suggesting a Dutch city's defenses. The use of etching allows for detailed rendering of the brickwork and vegetation. In the foreground, a small boat with two figures adds a touch of human presence to the landscape, creating a harmonious balance between nature and architecture. This work is a testament to Spilman's skill in capturing the beauty of the Dutch landscape through the medium of etching.
