Cityscape with people at the former Franciscan monastery, Esaias Boursse, 1662 Canvas Print
The former Portuguese Franciscan monastery, used after the war as a Governor's House and as an arsenal of weapons. On the left a long façade with in the middle a double stone staircase with landing that leads to a door on the first floor. Windows are also drawn at that height. Above that, a triangular façade with an ornament on a side corner and a cross protrudes on top. Behind it stands out a lower building, with a row of windows with shutters on the floor. All buildings have a tiled roof. A slope is drawn on the far left. At the end there is a row of trees on it. The façade in the middle is dominated by a very high entrance: a gate arch with triangular pedied. Above that two windows with open shutters. The triangular top façade has a round closed window. At the top of the blind side façade is a crossing roof frame. The roof itself is missing. On the right connects another building, with a low tiled roof. It has a slightly higher façade but a much lower gate. Windows are drawn above and next to it. At the end of the street, five people appear to be standing at a market stall; on top of the landing are two European men and at the bottom of the stairs we see five more, dressed in European clothing with hats on. One of them is sitting. They're probably soldiers. At the front left, a Eurasian woman with a child walks in the middle of the street. She is dressed in wrap skirt (redda), Portuguese blouse (hatte) and has her hair stuck in a wrong (condé). In front of the high gate in the square is a group of five people, three of whom are very sketchily drawn: on the left a Eurasian woman; middle two men each with a headgear, the left with a jacket above his hip dress, the man next to it with a layered cloth (chadar) above his long hip dress; to the right of it two men in only a short hip dress. At the front of the square is a Eurasian woman talking to a Dutch man. The women are dressed in wrap skirt (redda), Portuguese blouse (hatte) and with hair raised in a wrong (condé). The Dutch man wears a hat, puff pants, jacket, and a bandelier or wallet with a degen. On the right in front of the low gate, four men can be seen very sketchily. One of them appears to be wearing a Portuguese type hat. Sheet 65 from a sketchbook with 117 sheets.
