This detailed etching by Jan (I) Smit depicts the rear facade of the Corvershof, a prominent building in Amsterdam. Created between 1723 and 1748, the artwork showcases the building's architectural features, including its symmetrical layout, numerous windows, and prominent entrance. The meticulous detail of the engraving highlights Smit's skill as a draftsman and provides viewers with a glimpse into the architectural landscape of 18th-century Amsterdam. The image is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and serves as a valuable historical record of the Corvershof.
