Burgemeester Westerwijk te ter Goes uit de gevangenis gehaald 1692. pr.dr. v.a.l. 1751 - 1816

This etching by Dutch artist Reinier Vinkeles depicts the dramatic moment when the mayor of Ter Goes is freed from prison in 1692. The scene is full of tension, with armed guards escorting the mayor and his wife out of a stone doorway, perhaps the prison entrance. The etching's historical detail and dynamic composition convey a sense of urgency, highlighting the importance of this event. The work, created between 1751 and 1816, exemplifies Vinkeles's skill in capturing both historical accuracy and dramatic narrative. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the events and social dynamics of 17th century Dutch society.
