EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century view of Wittevrouwenpoort in Utrecht, Netherlands, is a stunning work of art by Theodor Verryck, created around the 1760s. The meticulously detailed drawing, executed in gray and black wash on paper, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the past. The image showcases the city gate, a significant entrance to Utrecht, surrounded by the bustling waterfront activity. Boats of various sizes, including rowboats and larger vessels, dot the water, transporting people and goods. Men can be seen rowing, tending to their boats, or simply watching the scene unfold. Theodor Verryck, a Dutch artist, expertly captures the urban landscape with a sense of realism and precision. The gate, a remnant of Utrecht's rich history, stands proudly amidst the hustle and bustle of the waterfront. Although the Wittevrouwenpoort is now demolished, this artwork serves as an invaluable record of its former grandeur. This drawing, held in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the artistic talent of Theodor Verryck and the daily life of Utrecht during the 18th century. The image invites us to explore the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of urban life in the 1700s.
