Gebouw met spitse torens aan het water Possibly 1630 - 1765

Anthonie Waterloo was a Dutch artist known for his detailed etchings of landscapes. This etching, "Gebouw met spitse torens aan het water" (Building with pointed towers on the water) depicts a building on the shore of a river, and several ships are docked. The etching is dated between 1630 and 1765, so it is possible that it is a later work by a follower of Waterloo. However, the detailed rendering of the buildings and ships in the etching is typical of his work, and he is considered a master of this type of etching. The piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
