Dordrecht is a 1652 by Wenceslaus Hollar, depicting Bohemia, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet harbor scene with tall ships docked near a city. In the background, a church tower rises above small buildings and trees. A small boat with two people rows in the foreground, while another tiny boat floats nearby. The artist focused on details like the ships’ rigging and the city’s walls. The title *Dordrecht* hints this might be a real Dutch town, but the artist was from Bohemia. Look up Wenceslaus Hollar to see more of his precise, detailed prints.
