"Gezicht op het Nieuwe Werkhuis te Amsterdam" (View of the New Workhouse in Amsterdam) is an anonymous engraving depicting the Nieuwe Werkhuis, a workhouse built in Amsterdam in 1784. The artwork is notable for its detailed portrayal of the building, which is seen from the front, and its emphasis on the functionality of the workhouse.
