This 1781 engraving by Noach van der Meer (II) depicts two commemorative medals. One celebrates a Dutch naval victory against the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Cadiz, the other honors Willem Crul, an admiral in the Dutch navy. The left medal shows a naval battle scene while the right one depicts Crul with a laurel wreath and inscription. This detailed artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Dutch artistic tradition of commemorating historical events through engravings.
