Jong, Dirk de / Conradi, Petrus / Plaats, Volkert van der

Ocean view of the fortifications of the city of Surat.

In the foreground are three East Indiamen, several smaller sailing vessels and a rowboat. To the right of centre big fishes are depicted.

The cannon are just visible on the parapet of the fort.

Cf Rijksmuseum, inv. nr. RP-P-1907-2820 and Koninklijke Bibliotheek, inv. nr. 388A4 part 1, after p. 28.

Vingboons portrays the same location. However in his watercolour the city of Visiapour is depicted and not Suratte, compare National Archives, inv. nr. VELJ0619.105.
