This etching by Hendrik Spilman, titled "Twee rivierlandschappen met Woudrichem en Gorinchem" (Two River Landscapes with Woudrichem and Gorinchem) from 1749, depicts two views of Dutch towns on the river. The top scene shows a distant view of Woudrichem, while the bottom scene shows the waterport of Woudrichem and Gorinchem. Spilman's precise, detailed style, capturing the architecture and ships on the river, is typical of Dutch landscape art of the 18th century. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic interest in portraying the beauty and cultural significance of Dutch waterways.
