Catalogue Note
Although he made numerous topographical drawings, many of which were engraved, Rademaker's decorative gouaches usually depict imaginary views or capricci. Topographically accurate views such as this are rare in this medium. Other, monochrome drawings of Nijmegen are, however, known,1 and there are four views of the city in the compendium of 300 topographical prints after drawings by Rademaker, published in 1725 under the title Nederlantse Outheeden en Gesigten.
