"Gezicht op een kanaal onder een brug en de achtergevels van huizen" (View of a canal under a bridge and the back facades of houses) is an etching created by Dutch artist Willem Witsen around 1900. The work is part of a series of etchings that depict Amsterdam’s canals and houses. It's a characteristic piece of Witsen's oeuvre that shows his ability to depict subtle lighting in an urban scene. This atmospheric work reflects the light and shadow of Amsterdam's characteristic canal houses and bridges. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
