This 1760 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts the Sint-Agnesconvent in Amsterdam, a convent that stood in the city until the 19th century. The artwork is composed of two images: a bird's-eye view of the convent and a more distant perspective of the surrounding area. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the architectural landscape of 16th-century Amsterdam. It's a valuable piece for historians interested in urban development and architecture.
