This 1736 etching by Leonard Schenk, titled "Gezicht op de Nieuwkerk te Dordrecht," depicts the Nieuwe Kerk in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Schenk, known for his architectural drawings and cityscapes, captures the church's imposing facade and its surrounding environment. The engraving, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed view of the church's architecture, including the bell tower and the surrounding buildings and trees. The inscription "Dordrecht" reveals the location of the church and the inscription "Vue de l'Eglise Neuve" highlights the church's French name. This intricate depiction of the Nieuwe Kerk is a testament to Schenk's meticulous craftsmanship and his ability to capture the essence of a place in a single print.
