Gezicht op Ameide 1727 - 1733

"Gezicht op Ameide" (View of Ameide) is an etching by Dutch artist Abraham Rademaker, dating from 1727-1733. It depicts a scene of a woman kneeling at the feet of a man, surrounded by a group of other individuals at a table, possibly in a grand hall or courtyard. The intricate details of the architecture and the figures, as well as the use of hatching and cross-hatching, create a sense of depth and realism in this small-scale work. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Rademaker’s talent as a draftsman and his skill in capturing the nuances of human interaction.
