This 17th-century map, created by an anonymous artist, depicts the counties of Hainaut and Namur in the Netherlands. The detailed illustration features a variety of geographical features, including rivers, forests, and towns, presented in a cartographic style typical of the period. The inclusion of coats of arms in the bottom right corner suggests the map was likely commissioned for a political or historical purpose, possibly for a noble family or government official. The map, now located in the Rijksmuseum, offers valuable insights into the cartography and political landscape of 17th-century Europe.
