"Gezicht op de burcht van Leiden van binnen" is an etching created in 1711 by Dutch artist Jacobus Schijnvoet, depicting a view of the Leiden Castle from the inside. The artwork shows the castle walls, with several figures on top, and a glimpse of the interior through a doorway. The detail of the architectural structure, alongside the inscription, "De Leidse Burg, met een doorfnee van binnen te fien volgens het uitvinden van Bischop", suggests this was a precise depiction of the castle's architecture, possibly for study or architectural documentation. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
