This anonymous etching from 1710-1711, titled *Gezicht op de Utrechtsepoort in Amsterdam* (View of the Utrecht Gate in Amsterdam), depicts the Utrecht Gate, a former city gate in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as it was before its demolition in 1818. This detailed view shows the gate’s grand architecture and surrounding landscape, including the bridge and a windmill in the distance. The scene is populated by people and horses, conveying the bustling activity that would have occurred around the gate. Located in the Rijksmuseum, this piece provides a valuable glimpse into Amsterdam's urban history and its transformation.
