Johann Gabriel Friedrich Poppel's 1858 lithograph "Gezicht op de Oude Gracht in Utrecht" depicts a picturesque view of the Oude Gracht canal in Utrecht, Netherlands. The detailed engraving showcases the canal, lined with brick buildings and verdant trees. A small boat with passengers traverses the water, while figures stroll along the canal's edge. The work offers a glimpse into the everyday life and cityscape of 19th-century Utrecht, showcasing the charming charm of the city's waterways and architecture. This lithograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Poppel's skill in capturing architectural and urban details with precision.
