This 1863 lithograph, by an unknown artist, depicts the Aalmarkt (Eel Market) in Leiden, Netherlands. The scene features a canal with a bridge and several boats, as well as buildings along the canal's edge. The artist captures the bustling activity of the market, with people walking along the docks, a horse-drawn carriage on the street and figures on the boats. The detailed drawing and muted colors of the print provide a glimpse into the daily life of the city in the mid-19th century. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
