"Uitgebrande bakkerij op Vlooienburg" (Burnt-out bakery on Flea Market Square) is a pencil drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan van der Heyden, renowned for his meticulous depictions of cityscapes and architectural details. Created after 1682, the drawing captures the aftermath of a fire, showcasing the charred remains of a bakery in Amsterdam. The precise lines and careful shading highlight the building's ruined structure, with visible beams, broken windows, and scattered debris. Van der Heyden's work is often associated with realism and a keen eye for detail, making this drawing a poignant reminder of the destructive power of fire and the fragility of urban structures.
