About this work

This painting is a map of Bruges, with a coat of arms featuring a bear and a lion in the top-right corner. The map is drawn on a green background, with a large, circular city wall in the center. The city is divided into sections by roads and canals, and several buildings are depicted in red. In the bottom-left corner, there is a gold-framed document with illegible text. A compass rose is located in the top-left corner, and a small, illegible inscription is visible in the bottom-right corner. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Joannes Lobberecht.
