"Gezicht op Schellingkhout" is an etching by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman, dating from 1745 to 1774. The artwork depicts a landscape view of the town of Schellingwoude, a small village near Amsterdam, with a prominent church steeple dominating the scene. This print exemplifies Spilman's skill in capturing the Dutch landscape with a keen eye for detail and a sensitive rendering of light and shadow. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the rural life of 18th-century Holland.
