Interieur van de Franse manege in Amsterdam 1850

This lithograph by Hendrik Wilhelmus Last depicts a scene from the French riding school in Amsterdam. Created in 1850, the artwork captures the grandeur of the venue as riders perform their equestrian feats. The intricate details of the vaulted ceiling and the numerous spectators in the balconies provide a glimpse into the social and cultural life of 19th-century Amsterdam. The use of black and white further enhances the historical feel of the piece.
