Gezicht op het Spinhuis te Amsterdam 1663

This etching by Jacob van Meurs depicts the Spinhuis, a building in Amsterdam that housed a workhouse and a prison for women. The image shows the Spinhuis, its surrounding buildings, and figures going about their daily lives. The print, dated 1663, is a fine example of 17th-century Dutch art and offers insight into the architecture and daily life of Amsterdam during that period. The Spinhuis was demolished in the 19th century. The print is currently in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
