The Ferry to Naarden (Het Naerder veer) is a 1645 ink by Nooms, called Zeeman, Reinier, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a busy canal with boats carrying people. On the left, a bridge stretches across the water, and on the right, tall buildings line the shore. Trees frame the scene, and the sky is lightly sketched with clouds. The artist used fine lines to show movement in the water and on the boats. The title at the bottom reads *"Het Naerder veer"*, which means "The Ferry to Naarden." Next, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
