Description: | This is the market square in Amersfoort seen from bird's-eye view which allows the viewer to take in everything from fore- to background: a frieze of figures of all classes of society is arranged close to the foreground. Beyond, a horse-drawn carriage followed by a group of Dutch soldiers mounted on horses is moving past the building on the left-hand-side. In the centre a soldier on a white horse leads his troops across the square. Small anecdotal figures, going about their everyday business, and a few dogs running across the square, enliven the scene. | Subjects: | place (Amersfoort) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Droochsloot, Joost Cornelisz.
