Stadsgezicht op Arnemuiden c. 1728 - 1732

This delicate pencil drawing by Cornelis Pronk, titled “Stadsgezicht op Arnemuiden,” depicts a cityscape view of the Dutch town of Arnemuiden, likely created between 1728 and 1732. The work showcases the town's architecture, including a prominent church tower and a gatehouse, surrounded by verdant trees. The composition, featuring a simple yet effective perspective, is characteristic of Pronk's style, which often captured the serene beauty of Dutch landscapes and cityscapes. The drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the 18th-century Dutch urban life.
