"Gracht in Dordrecht" is an etching by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, created between 1884 and 1887. The artwork depicts a narrow canal in the Dutch city of Dordrecht, with tall, closely-spaced buildings lining both sides. Van 's-Gravesande's use of dark tones creates a sense of depth and mystery, highlighting the architectural details of the buildings and the narrowness of the canal. The etching showcases a detailed representation of urban life in 19th-century Netherlands, and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
