"Stadhuis te Leeuwarden" is an etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Harrewijn, created around 1720. This detailed engraving depicts the city hall of Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, showcasing its grand facade with a central tower and symmetrical design. This artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architecture of 18th-century Netherlands and provides valuable insight into the city's urban planning during that era. Harrewijn's precise lines and masterful use of light and shadow create a realistic representation of the building, making it an important historical document as well as an artistic work.
