This detailed engraving by Coenraet Decker showcases a panoramic view of Delfshaven, a port city near Delft, in 1703. The artwork, completed between 1678 and 1703, provides a glimpse into Dutch life in the late 17th century, with ships, buildings, and bustling activity depicted. At the bottom are coats of arms of four Delft mayors, highlighting the importance of civic leadership in the city. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a valuable historical record of Delfshaven's architecture and daily life.
