"Befestigung, bei einem Kundeturm zwei Kanonen und ein Schilderhaus" (Fortification with Two Cannons and a Watchtower at a Customer Tower) is a drawing by Dutch artist Jan van Goyen. Created in 1653, the artwork depicts a fortified tower, with cannons and a watchtower, in a landscape setting. The scene is rendered with a light touch, typical of van Goyen's style, emphasizing the atmosphere and composition rather than detailed realism. The drawing offers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch military fortifications and the importance of defense in the region. It is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
