The Zuiderzeedijk at Schardam is a painting by Matthias Withoos, marking a breach in the dike near the village of Schardam in the Province of North Holland. It shows repair work being carried out to the breach between Schardam and Scharwoude - it is thought to be the only painting of that period to show such repairs.[1]
The painting has been owned for 340 years by the Van Foreest family and since 28 March 2015 has been on display at the Westfries Museum, in Hoorn.[2]
