Uitgebrand huis op de Leidsegracht, 1684 Possibly 1684 - 1690

"Uitgebrand huis op de Leidsegracht, 1684" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Jan van der Heyden, possibly dated between 1684 and 1690. It depicts a house on the Leidsegracht canal in Amsterdam that has been damaged by fire, with a charred facade and smoke-stained windows. Van der Heyden was known for his detailed and accurate depictions of Dutch cityscapes, and this drawing is a prime example of his meticulous style, capturing the aftermath of a fire in Amsterdam in a realistic and evocative manner. The drawing is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
