Riviergezicht met stadsmuren 1742 - 1784

This etching by Hendrik Spilman, created between 1742 and 1784, depicts a river view with city walls. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Spilman's skill in rendering architectural detail. The composition features a prominent tower and a section of the city wall with a gate, providing a glimpse into the fortified landscape of the time. The use of fine lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, enhancing the viewer's understanding of the scene.
