This 1797 engraving by Johan Christoffel Schultz, a Dutch artist known for his architectural prints, depicts the Korenmetershuis in Amsterdam. The building is rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing its classical facade, featuring a central doorway flanked by arched windows. Schultz's careful depiction of the building's structural elements highlights the craftsmanship and architectural style of the period. The inscription "HET KOORNMETERS-HUIS te Amsterdam" identifies the subject as the Grain Measurer's House, a building of civic importance in Amsterdam. The print provides a valuable glimpse into the architectural landscape of 18th-century Amsterdam.
