Het Oude Stadhuis van Amsterdam, 1641 1778 - 1838

Anthonie van den Bos's "Het Oude Stadhuis van Amsterdam, 1641" (1778-1838) is a detailed pen-and-ink drawing of the old town hall in Amsterdam. It is a depiction of a 17th-century building with a tall, pointed spire and a series of arches at the base. The drawing captures the architectural details of the building, including the stonework, the windows, and the clock on the tower. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts the building as it appeared before it was demolished in 1808. The artist's meticulous rendering of the building's exterior showcases his keen observation of architectural details, making the work a valuable historical record of a lost structure.
