This 1765 engraving by an anonymous artist depicts the courtyard of the "Huishoudsters Weduwen-Hof" in Amsterdam. This print offers a glimpse into the architecture and daily life of this charitable institution, designed to house widowed women, as a few figures can be seen walking through the courtyard. The detail and perspective of this print make it an excellent example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking, showcasing the evolving urban landscape of Amsterdam. This piece is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, providing a valuable historical and artistic record of the city's past.
