summary

Depiction of Jerusalem during the Second Commonwealth. Surrounded by fifteen medallions depicting Temple vessels and scenes. Unsurprisingly, the plan depicts a city that appears far more similar to contemporary Dutch urban environments than to Roman Jerusalem.

15 x 22 inches (38 x 56 cm).
