This etching by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips, titled "Gezicht op de Waalse Kerk en het Sint-Jorishof te Amsterdam," depicts the St. Joris Hof in Amsterdam, with the Waalse Kerk (Walloon Church) in the background. Created between 1736 and 1759, the work offers a glimpse into the city's urban landscape during this period. The view from within the courtyard, framed by large trees, showcases the architectural details of the buildings, including the church's towering structure. The print's precise depiction of the courtyard and its surrounding buildings highlights the artistic movement's focus on realism and the recording of local life. The image is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
