Vogelvluchtgezicht op de Beurs van Hendrik de Keyser te Amsterdam, na 1668 1668 - 1720

This is a bird's-eye view of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, also known as the Beurs, designed by Hendrik de Keyser. Created by Pieter Hendricksz. Schut between 1668 and 1720, the engraving shows a detailed view of the building, its surrounding streets, and the people who frequented the area. This drawing is an excellent example of Dutch architectural drawings during the Golden Age, a period known for its vibrant commercial activity. The intricate detail of the building's design and the bustling activity around it capture the essence of Amsterdam's burgeoning trade at the time. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
