"Gezicht op de Waag en het Stadhuis op de Dam te Amsterdam" is an 18th century watercolor by Jan Caspar Philips, depicting the Dam Square in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This view highlights the iconic Stadhuis (Town Hall) and the Waag (Weigh House), both prominent buildings in the city. Philips' meticulous attention to detail captures the bustling activity of the square, with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and merchants going about their daily routines. The watercolor is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and offers a glimpse into the urban life of 18th-century Amsterdam.
