"Gezicht op het stadhuis te Schoonhoven" (View of the City Hall in Schoonhoven) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Punt, created in 1762. The artwork depicts a detailed, architectural view of the city hall in Schoonhoven, a town known for its silver craftsmanship. Punt's meticulous depiction captures the building's intricate details, including its towering spire, ornate windows, and stonework. The scene is further enlivened by the inclusion of figures, a carriage, and a sense of daily life unfolding in the town square. This etching, held at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable record of 18th-century Dutch architecture and urban life.
