Carel Frederik Bendorp’s *Stadsgezicht met stadspoort gezien vanaf rivier* is a 1746–1814 etching. It depicts a cityscape with a city gate seen from a river. The view is framed by an oval, with a grid pattern on the border. The scene shows a bridge, buildings, and boats on the water, with several figures present. Bendorp’s etching showcases the detail of the urban landscape and the intricacies of the city's waterways. The composition reflects his keen observation of the everyday life in the Dutch Republic. The small size of this artwork, at 55 x 72 mm, adds to its charm as an intimate depiction of a bustling cityscape.
