This anonymous 17th-century etching, "Gezicht op de Prinsessegracht te Den Haag," offers a detailed view of the Prinsessegracht canal in The Hague, Netherlands, focusing on the area near the "Koekamp" and the "Leidiche Brug" (Leiden Bridge). The perspective is that of a viewer looking down the canal, with the bridge and its surrounding structures prominently displayed. The meticulous rendering of the buildings, including their architectural details, and the figures along the canal's edge, adds to the overall realism of this fascinating depiction of 17th-century Dutch urban life.
