Beautiful Framed Copper Engraving of the Marepoort in Leiden (1762)


This unique, coloured copper engraving shows a rare view of the Marepoort in Leiden, a former city gate on the north side of the city. The engraving was made by Abraham Delfos in 1762, after a drawing by Jan de Beijer. The Marepoort, designed in classicist style by Willem van der Helm, was built in 1665-66 and demolished in the 19th century.

The engraving is not only a beautiful historical document, but also an example of fine 18th century craftsmanship. “I. de Beyer, del.” refers to the designer of the original drawing, probably a reference to Isaac de Moucheron, an important Dutch landscape artist. Abraham Delfos then converted this drawing into a detailed copper engraving, a common collaboration at the time.

Dimensions:

• Total frame: 29 cm wide x 25 cm high
• Engraving: 16.5 cm wide x 13.5 cm high

The condition of this hand-coloured engraving from 1762 is exceptionally good. The colours are still clearly visible and the etching itself shows hardly any wear. The frame has minimal traces of use, which adds to the charm and authenticity of this antique piece. On the back is a hook for easy hanging.

Please note: the stand in the photos is not included. The engraving will be carefully packaged and shipped insured, so it will arrive safely to you.

A rare opportunity to bring a piece of Leiden history into your home! Good luck bidding!
