"Grill's Hofje aan de Eerste Weteringdwarsstraat te Amsterdam" is a black and white pen and ink drawing created by Willem Wenckebach between 1870 and 1926. The artwork depicts a narrow alleyway in Amsterdam, Netherlands, featuring a traditional brick-paved courtyard with a stone clock tower, windows, and a lone figure in the distance. This detailed illustration captures the essence of a typical Amsterdam hofje, a type of almshouse or charitable housing complex common in the city. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
