This etching, "Gezicht op de Herenpoort te Leiden" by Dutch artist Abraham Rademaker, depicts the Herenpoort gate in Leiden, Netherlands, after 1732. A gatehouse with a drawbridge sits on the left side of the image, while the Herenpoort gate itself is on the right with a windmill visible in the distance. The scene is set against a calm canal with several figures. This detailed etching provides a valuable glimpse into the architecture and daily life of Leiden during the 18th century. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and was created in a small format, measuring only 164 mm x 199 mm.
