Bevestiging van het Mirakel door de regeerders van Amsterdam 1705 - 1754

"Bevestiging van het Mirakel door de regeerders van Amsterdam" is a drawing by Jacob de Wit, created between 1705 and 1754. The artwork depicts a scene of civic officials gathered around a table, likely in a room of the Amsterdam City Hall. The drawing is executed in a loose, sketch-like manner, typical of de Wit's style. The composition is dominated by the figures, whose poses and expressions suggest a moment of deliberation and perhaps even awe. The presence of a statue of a religious figure in the background adds a layer of symbolism to the scene, highlighting the importance of faith and governance in Dutch society during the 18th century. The drawing, measuring just 174mm by 155mm, is a fine example of Dutch draughtsmanship of the period.
