"Waterpoort te Sneek" is an etching by Dutch artist Elias Stark, created in 1887. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the historic Waterpoort, a gate in Sneek, Netherlands. The etching shows the gate in detail, with its two tall towers and arched entrance. The scene includes boats on the canal and figures on the shore, showcasing everyday life in the city. Stark's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism in this architectural depiction.
