Stadsgezicht met Werkhuis 1782

"Stadsgezicht met Werkhuis" (Cityscape with Workhouse) is an etching by Dutch artist Cornelis Brouwer, created in 1782. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a building with a canal in the foreground. The building's exterior has a symmetrical structure with multiple windows and a central entrance. The detailed depiction of the building, the canal, and the passing boat, captures the essence of Dutch urban life during the 18th century. This etching is an example of Brouwer's ability to translate the architectural landscape of Amsterdam onto a small scale, showcasing the city's canals and bridges.
