This engraving by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman, titled "Gezicht op de Waag te Oudewater, 1745," depicts the Waag, or Weigh House, of Oudewater, a town in the Netherlands. Created between 1750 and 1792, the artwork captures the architectural details of the building, including its distinctive stepped gable and windows. The surrounding street scene, featuring a tree and figures, provides a glimpse into daily life in Oudewater during the 18th century. This print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a valuable historical document offering insights into Dutch architecture and urban life.
