"Waterput op de hoek van twee straten" (c. 1574) is an etching by Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum, a Dutch artist whose work is housed in the Rijksmuseum. This artwork displays a detailed perspective of an urban scene, specifically the intersection of two streets, highlighting a water pump and a fountain in the foreground. The intricate details of the architecture and the use of chiaroscuro contribute to the realistic and immersive nature of the piece. It's a prime example of 16th-century Dutch printmaking and provides a glimpse into the everyday life of the city.
