"Gezicht op de Waag te Amsterdam, gezien in noordelijke richting" (View of the Weigh House in Amsterdam, seen from the north) is an 1813 etching by Dutch artist Daniël Vrijdag. The artwork, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a bustling scene in front of the prominent Waag building in Amsterdam. Vrijdag’s detailed engraving captures the architectural grandeur of the building with its distinctive towers, as well as the everyday life of people going about their day, highlighting the importance of the Waag as a public space and commercial hub in 19th-century Amsterdam. The print offers a glimpse into the city's history and its architectural heritage through a realistic and detailed perspective.
