Gezicht op de Leidse Dam te Leidschendam 1755

"Gezicht op de Leidse Dam te Leidschendam" (1755) is an etching by Dutch artist Iven Besoet (1720-1769). The print is a bird’s eye view of a town square, with buildings lining a canal. The composition is balanced, with the buildings on each side of the square and the canal leading the viewer’s eye to a church in the center. The artwork is a good example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking and is an interesting document of a Dutch town.
