Stadspoort te Hamburg (?), vanuit de buitenzijde gezien 1619 - 1690

This drawing by Anthonie Waterloo, dated between 1619 and 1690, depicts a city gate in Hamburg, Germany. The scene is rendered in a loose and sketchy style, characteristic of Waterloo's later works. The composition focuses on the imposing gate, framed by a building on the left and a tower on the right, with figures passing through the opening. The drawing's light and delicate lines create a sense of atmospheric depth and a feeling of movement. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Hamburg in the 17th century, showcasing Waterloo's ability to capture the everyday life and architectural details of his time.
