"Koppelpoort te Amersfoort bij maanlicht" (1811-1867) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Christiaan Wilhelmus Moorrees (1801-1867). The artwork depicts a nighttime scene of the Koppelpoort gate in Amersfoort, Netherlands, illuminated by the moon. The gate, a prominent landmark, is shown in detail, along with surrounding buildings and a small group of figures walking by. The lithograph's soft, tonal shading creates a sense of atmosphere and depth. The work showcases Moorrees's skill in capturing architectural details and conveying a sense of place. It is a fine example of Dutch Romanticism, depicting a picturesque scene bathed in soft, ethereal light.
