About the piece

Painted in 1673 by Jacob Knijff, this detailed oil on canvas depicts a lively harbor scene at the height of maritime trade. Large, ornate sailing ships dominate the water, while a tall stone tower stands guard over a dock crowded with merchants, laborers, and barrels, all bathed in the warm, hazy light of late afternoon.
