Stadsgezicht met waarschijnlijk de Westerhal te Amsterdam c. 1728 - 1732

Cornelis Pronk’s "Stadsgezicht met waarschijnlijk de Westerhal te Amsterdam" (c. 1728 - 1732) is a pencil drawing of a city view that may depict the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, focuses on a series of trees and houses, creating a dense foreground that partially obscures the view. The artist uses light lines to suggest the buildings, streets, and foliage, resulting in a simple yet evocative depiction of the urban landscape. This drawing, a sketch, is an example of Pronk’s architectural drawings, often made for planning or design purposes.
