Gezicht op het Rapenburg te Leiden van de Nieuwsteegbrug, 1807 1807

"Gezicht op het Rapenburg te Leiden van de Nieuwsteegbrug" (View of the Rapenburg in Leiden from the Nieuwsteegbrug) is an 1807 drawing by Dutch artist Hermanus Numan. The detailed depiction of the canal, bridge, and surrounding buildings showcases Numan's skill in architectural representation, a common theme in his work. The peaceful scene, with figures strolling along the canal, evokes a sense of daily life in 19th-century Leiden. This work, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of the Netherlands during the early 19th century.
