De Nieuwe Hal 1717 - 1748

"De Nieuwe Hal" is a pen and ink drawing by Abraham de (II) Haen, dating from 1717 to 1748. It depicts a view of the "New Hall" in Amsterdam, likely a public building, as seen from a perspective just outside its entrance. The drawing displays a detailed representation of the building's architecture, showcasing its facade with multiple windows, a gabled roof, and a prominent arched entrance. It's a testament to Haen's talent in capturing the architectural details of his time, a skill often found in 18th-century Dutch art. The drawing is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into the urban landscapes of 18th-century Amsterdam.
