This 1693 etching by Willem Swidde, titled *Gezicht op Jönköping*, depicts a panoramic view of the Swedish city of Jönköping. The print, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the city's landscape, featuring a river flowing past a fortified area with a castle and buildings, and a dense cityscape stretching in the distance. Swidde's engraving offers a glimpse into the urban development and architectural features of Jönköping in the late 17th century, a significant example of cityscape art from the Dutch Golden Age.
