Gezicht op het Gemeenlandshuis van Delfland te Delft 1678 - 1703

This detailed etching by Coenraet Decker, a Dutch artist known for his architectural drawings, depicts the Gemeenlandshuis of Delfland in Delft. Created between 1678 and 1703, the artwork offers a glimpse into the 17th-century Dutch cityscape. The building, distinguished by its ornate facade and a prominent central tower, stands proudly amidst a cobblestone street. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a horse-drawn carriage and figures, lending a sense of activity and life to the composition. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the etching showcases Decker's mastery in capturing architectural detail and conveying a sense of place.
