This etching, created between 1685 and 1748 by Dutch artist Jan (I) Smit, depicts a panoramic view of the Amstel River in Amsterdam. The scene showcases the city's bustling waterfront, with numerous boats navigating the river. In the background, windmills dot the landscape, highlighting the importance of water management in 17th-century Amsterdam. This detailed depiction, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the city's vibrant urban life during this period.
