Henri Borremans' "Gezicht op het Gildehuis der Vrije Schippers en De Graslei" is an 1822 to 1844 lithograph that depicts the cityscape of Ghent, Belgium. The scene, drawn in black and white, shows several buildings lining a quay, with a bustling scene of people in the foreground. The artwork's title refers to the Guild House of the Free Shippers, which is prominently featured in the composition. The detailed and realistic depiction of architecture and activity make it a valuable historical record of the city's appearance during this period.
