This etching by Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig, titled "Fontein op de Oude Vismarkt in Antwerpen", depicts the Old Fish Market in Antwerp, Belgium. Dated 1868, the print showcases a bustling market scene, with people gathered around a central fountain featuring a statue. The artist uses detailed lines to capture the architectural features of the buildings and the lively atmosphere of the market, offering a glimpse into 17th-century Antwerp. The "1663" inscription on the fountain indicates its historical significance. This piece is a valuable example of 19th-century printmaking and historical documentation.
