18th century Utrecht was protected by city walls and an encircling canal. The view depicted on this plate is of De witte vrouwen poort de Utrecht (or White Ladies gate), situated on the eastern side of the city by a bridge of the same name. It was one of only four entrances to the city at this time, and though the bridge remains the original buildings have been destroyed. vitte vrouwen refers to the cloister that stood nearby until 1710.
