"Gezicht van het Aalmoezeniers-Weeshuis," or "View of the Almshouse Orphanage" in Amsterdam, is a 18th century print by Hermanus Petrus Schouten, a Dutch artist known for his detailed cityscapes. This engraving depicts a canal scene, with a row of trees along the water's edge, and a large brick building on the right. The print is likely part of a series of works dedicated to showcasing prominent locations in Amsterdam. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the city’s urban landscape during the 18th century.
