Hermanus Petrus Schouten's "Gezicht op de Nieuwe Waalse Kerk (1685-1808) te Amsterdam" (c. 1770 - 1805) is a detailed etching depicting the Nieuwe Waalse Kerk, a prominent church in Amsterdam. The print shows the church's facade, the surrounding buildings, and a bustling canal with boats and pedestrians. Schouten's meticulous attention to detail and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, showcasing his skill as a topographical artist. This work is an excellent example of the Dutch tradition of cityscape prints, providing a glimpse into 18th-century Amsterdam.
