"Gezicht op de nieuwe Korenbeurs in Amsterdam" (View of the New Corn Exchange in Amsterdam), is an anonymous 1787 etching depicting the new 18th-century granary built along the waterfront in Amsterdam. The print features a detailed perspective of the structure, including its arched entrances and surrounding colonnades. The etching highlights the importance of the grain trade in Amsterdam, a key economic sector during the Dutch Golden Age. The artist captured daily activity with people and carts going about their business outside the building, providing a glimpse into the bustling life of the city at that time.
