Hermanus Numan's 1761-1804 etching, *Afbeelding van het Luthersche wees- en oude mannen en vrouwen-huis, / op 't Weesper-veld, te Amsterdam,* depicts the Lutheran Orphanage and Old Men's and Women's Home in Amsterdam. The detailed engraving provides a visual record of the building's architecture, while the surrounding text offers insights into its purpose and operation. This artwork from the Rijksmuseum demonstrates a common trend of 18th-century Dutch art—a blend of visual representation and social commentary.
