Gezicht op oude huizen te Leiden 1838 - 1887

"Gezicht op oude huizen te Leiden" (View of Old Houses in Leiden) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Frederik Hendrik Weissenbruch. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the intimate charm of a street scene in Leiden, showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and his interest in the everyday lives of ordinary people. The depiction of traditional Dutch architecture, the cobblestone street, and the figures going about their day, all contribute to a sense of realism and historical authenticity. The image is a prime example of Weissenbruch's signature style, which often focused on everyday scenes in the Dutch countryside and towns.
