"Gevecht bij Toledo" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Harrewijn, depicting a battle scene outside the city of Toledo. The detailed print showcases a vast number of soldiers engaged in intense combat, with smoke and chaos filling the foreground. In the background, a distant view of Toledo's skyline provides a contrasting sense of calm amidst the tumultuous action. This small-scale artwork, measuring 120 mm in height and 145 mm in width, demonstrates Harrewijn's skill in capturing the drama and intensity of a battlefield. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
