"Gezicht op het derde gesticht in de kolonie Veenhuizen" is an 1827 lithograph by Dutch artist Alexandre Joseph Boens (1793-1838). The artwork depicts a view of the third institution in the Veenhuizen penal colony in the province of Drenthe. The drawing features a long, low building set back from a grassy field. In the foreground, a large, imposing gate is visible, suggesting the building's purpose as a prison. The drawing is a fine example of the architectural and social landscape of early 19th-century Dutch penal colonies.
