An engraving depicts a city square and marketplace in Amsterdam. On the left side stand two large, gabled buildings with arched entrances, identified as the Great and Small Meat Halls. A perspective view leads down a busy street filled with market stalls and figures into the background. To the right stands another substantial stone building with many windows and a small bell tower on its roof. In the wide foreground, various figures in 17th or 18th-century attire, wearing cloaks and wide-brimmed hats, are strolling. A small dog stands in the center foreground.
