EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite relief personification of the Water element above the arch in the Burgerzaal of the Town Hall on Dam Square in Amsterdam. The intricate details and craftsmanship are truly remarkable. In this depiction, a majestic female figure represents the Water element, holding a ship delicately in her hands and wearing a magnificent shell crown upon her head. To her left, we can see a rudder, oar, and an entertainment hook symbolizing different aspects of maritime life. On her right side lies the head of a fish amidst lush reeds. At her feet lie various sea creatures including fish, lobsters, and crabs which further emphasize her connection to water. The artist has beautifully captured these elements with great precision. The bottom right corner is numbered as XCIX N 1. , indicating its significance within this collection. This artwork by Hubert Quellinus dates back to either 1663 or 1719-1783. Through this stunning engraving on paper measuring approximately 322 mm in height and 212 mm in width, viewers can appreciate both the artistic mastery and historical importance of this piece
