Stadshaven 1837 - 1840

This lithograph, titled "Stadshaven" (City Harbor), was created by Carel Christiaan Antony Last between 1837 and 1840. The detailed depiction of a bustling harbor, with ships, figures, and buildings, showcases Last's skill in capturing the dynamism of everyday life. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam and is a testament to the enduring interest in urban scenes and the daily lives of people during the 19th century. The artist's meticulous attention to detail, as seen in the intricate portrayal of the ships and the surrounding environment, is characteristic of the Dutch Romanticism movement.
