"Gezicht de Leeuwenpoort, te Emmerik" is an anonymous 18th-century drawing of the Lion Gate in Emmerik, Netherlands. The artwork depicts a fortified gatehouse with a tall tower, and a surrounding, slightly stylized, landscape. This drawing is likely a view of the Emmerik city gate from the late 18th century, providing a glimpse into the architectural landscape of this Dutch city. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed view of this historic landmark. The realistic depiction of the gatehouse suggests a focus on topographical accuracy, and the overall composition highlights the grandeur of the gatehouse, a symbol of the city's defenses.
