"Gezicht op het Walenweeshuis aan de Laurierstraat te Amsterdam" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Veenhuysen, created in 1665. The artwork depicts the Walenweeshuis, an orphanage for Walloon children in Amsterdam. This detailed view shows the building's facade, with its characteristic gables and windows. The etching is a testament to Veenhuysen's skill in capturing architectural details and the everyday life of 17th-century Amsterdam, with figures in the foreground adding a sense of scale and activity. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
