Het Oude Kerks Plein te Amsterdam 1870 - 1926

"Het Oude Kerks Plein te Amsterdam" is a pen and ink drawing by Willem Wenckebach, a Dutch artist known for his detailed architectural illustrations. This artwork depicts the Oude Kerksplein (Old Church Square) in Amsterdam, capturing the historical character of the area. The drawing features a mix of traditional buildings, including the Oude Kerk (Old Church), with its distinct gabled roof and gothic windows. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carts, and figures add a sense of daily life to the scene. This small-scale drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Wenckebach's skill in capturing the essence of Dutch urban landscapes.
