"Gezicht op Heukelum" is a 1727-1733 etching by Abraham Rademaker depicting a view of the Dutch town of Heukelum. The detailed engraving showcases the town's skyline, dominated by a tall church tower and a row of houses behind a wall. The image is framed by trees, and the sky is filled with clouds. This work exemplifies the artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age, with its focus on detailed depictions of everyday life and the landscape. The print was likely produced for a collection of views of towns and landscapes popular in 18th-century Europe.
