"Gezicht op het Burgerweeshuis te Den Haag", an anonymous etching from 1730-1736, depicts the Burgerweeshuis (Orphanage) in The Hague. The detailed perspective drawing shows the building's courtyard, surrounded by buildings, and features a central paved space with a group of people playing a game. This print, likely created for public dissemination, provides a glimpse into the architecture and daily life of 18th-century The Hague.
