An architectural engraving of the side elevation of the Amsterdam Town Hall (Stadhuis), which is now the Royal Palace on Dam Square. The building is a grand classical structure with three main levels of windows, decorative pilasters, and a prominent central cupola topped with a weather vane. On the left corner of the roof, a statue of Atlas holding the globe is visible. The foreground shows a paved square with various small figures of people in 17th or 18th-century dress, some walking and some in conversation, as well as a horse-drawn carriage on the right. To the far left and right, parts of the surrounding cityscape and the Nieuwe Kerk are partially visible.
