Antwerp seen from the Scheldt, print, printmaker: Robert Mols, Antwerp, 1858 - 1903, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 253 mm x width 598 mm, harbour, river, quay, A wide sepia-toned waterfront scene shows a calm body of water in the foreground with multiple sailing vessels and small rowboats, some with furled sails and others with masts and rigging visible; reflections of the boats ripple across the water. The midground features a continuous low-lying shoreline lined with a variety of buildings, including structures with pitched roofs and a few taller spires and towers rising above the rooftops. One prominent tall tower stands near the center of the skyline, with a narrower pointed spire nearby, and additional churchlike towers appear toward the right. The sky is lightly sketched with faint horizontal shading, and the overall image has an aged, textured paper appearance.
