Oil painting on canvas, View of Dordercht (from the Maas) by Aelbert Cuyp (Dordrecht 1620 - Dordrecht 1691), signed bottom left: A cuÿp, 1650s. Dordrecht is seen from the north-east on the conjunction of two rivers, the Oude Maas and Dordtse Kil, marked by the 'Standard-Mole' windmill. The massive square tower is the Grote Kerk. The quayside is shown as it was rebuilt in 1647 and the scene dates from a bit later after the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648 with an absence of warships, and possibly painted for the artist himself at the time of his marriage to the wealthy Cornelia Bosman, in 1658. The sun is striking the south-west face of the church tower and both clocks read 5 minutes past seven.
