"Gezicht op de Hooglandse kerk vanaf de burcht te Leiden, 1742" is an etching by Hendrik Spilman, created between 1750 and 1792. The print depicts a view of the Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden, seen through an archway. The composition is characterized by a sense of depth, achieved through the use of linear perspective. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale to the scene, while the inscription at the bottom of the print identifies the subject matter. The etching is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
