"Rechte lijn die een cirkel raakt met onderaan een stadsgezicht" is a 1669 etching by French artist Sébastien Leclerc I. This print is part of a larger collection of illustrations from Leclerc’s book *The Practice of Perspective*, demonstrating the rules of perspective through geometric diagrams and architectural scenes. This particular image shows a geometric diagram of a circle intersected by a line, and a small cityscape below. The use of perspective is apparent in the diminishing size of the buildings and receding lines of the cityscape, showing the geometric understanding that Leclerc sought to convey.
