A detailed landscape engraving of the "Oude Stads-Herberg" (Old City Inn) in Amsterdam. The scene depicts a large, multi-story building with a gambrel roof situated on the water's edge. In the foreground, a wooden pier or walkway extends from the left, with several figures walking upon it. Small rowboats with passengers are visible in the water. To the left, there is a drawbridge and various masts of ships in the background. The sky is filled with voluminous clouds. The engraving is framed by a simple border, with the title and artist information printed below the image.
