Stairs of the Sint-Elisabeth Gasthuis in Amsterdam c. 1650 - 1652

Roelant Roghman’s “Stairs of the Sint-Elisabeth Gasthuis in Amsterdam” is a 17th-century drawing depicting a set of stairs leading up to a building in Amsterdam. The drawing, held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Roghman’s skill in capturing the detail of architectural forms and using light and shadow to create a sense of depth. This realistic portrayal of the gasthuis’s exterior exemplifies the artist’s focus on architectural elements in his oeuvre.
