This anonymous engraving from 1726 depicts the courtyard of the Oudemannenhuis in Amsterdam, a home for the elderly. The image provides a detailed view of the building's architecture, showing its symmetrical layout and the rows of windows that line the courtyard. The courtyard itself is filled with trees and shrubs, and there are a few figures walking through the space. This print was likely created as an illustration for a publication about the Oudemannenhuis. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
