Vignet met een gedenksteen met daarop een inscriptie 1836 - 1912

This detailed pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, titled "Vignet met een gedenksteen met daarop een inscriptie," depicts a close-up view of a stone inscription in a gothic font. The inscription reads "M.D.CC.L.XVII. den 1. April want. d. erfte steen ba delle poort gheleit," which translates to "MDCCLXVII, on April 1st, when the first stone for the gate was laid". This artwork, created between 1836 and 1912, showcases Weissenbruch's meticulous attention to detail and his interest in capturing the historical significance of inscriptions. The artwork's focus on a single inscription suggests a deeper meaning beyond its literal translation.
