Vischpoort te Harderwijk before 1931

This woodcut print, created before 1931 by Dutch artist Pieter Willem van Baarsel, depicts the Vischpoort (Fish Gate) in Harderwijk, Netherlands. The image showcases the gate's imposing architecture, featuring a towering structure with a distinctive roofline and a prominent arched entrance. Van Baarsel's use of bold lines and stark contrasts creates a striking visual effect, capturing the essence of the historic gate and its surrounding cityscape. The print is a fine example of van Baarsel's mastery of the woodcut medium, which he used throughout his career to depict scenes of daily life in the Netherlands. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architectural heritage of Harderwijk and the artistic style of Pieter Willem van Baarsel.
