View of the Zuidmolenstraat, Bergen op Zoom Possibly 1671

Valentijn Klotz's "View of the Zuidmolenstraat, Bergen op Zoom" is a detailed drawing of a street in the Dutch town of Bergen op Zoom. Dated possibly 1671, the artwork depicts a street lined with houses and a large church in the distance. Klotz, a Dutch draftsman and engraver born in 1645, was known for his precise and meticulous depiction of urban landscapes. The drawing's simple lines and focus on architectural detail are characteristic of Dutch 17th-century drawings, a period marked by the rise of realism and precision in art.
