This 18th-century etching by Hermanus Petrus Schouten depicts the Sint-Olofskapel, a historic chapel in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Schouten, a Dutch artist known for his cityscapes, meticulously captured the chapel's architecture, showcasing its prominent facade with a large arched window. The etching, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of Amsterdam during the late 18th century. The inclusion of figures and carriages in the foreground further adds to the scene's realism.
