About the piece
Created in 1858 by Prosper Crébassol, this topographical painting offers a window into the 19th-century Caribbean. The work captures the distinctive Dutch colonial architecture of the Governor's Palace and the sturdy stone walls of the harbor forts, all set against a clear sky and the lively maritime traffic of Willemstad's waters.
