Gezicht op de Admiraliteitswerf op Kattenburg te Amsterdam Possibly 1710 - 1766

This anonymous etching, titled "Gezicht op de Admiraliteitswerf op Kattenburg te Amsterdam", is a detailed depiction of the Amsterdam Admiralty Shipyard from the late 17th or early 18th century. The view, taken from the water, showcases a long row of ships docked along the shipyard's waterfront. The meticulously rendered details of the ships, buildings, and the surrounding water illustrate the importance of shipbuilding to Amsterdam's economic success. The image, likely part of a larger series, offers valuable insights into Dutch maritime history and the city's flourishing naval industry during this period. This etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
