This etching titled "Strooptocht van vier Hollandse schepen op de Portugese kust, 1629" by an anonymous artist depicts the attack on the Portuguese coast by four Dutch ships. The ships, each with individual names, are depicted sailing toward the coast. The city of Buarcos in Portugal is depicted on a hilltop, with smoke billowing from cannons fired during the attack. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a detailed visual account of this historical event, capturing the naval battle and the surrounding landscape in a unique and historically significant manner.
