View of Amsterdam with houses under construction, print, In the foreground a construction site. In the background residences and the Boomkerk., printmaker: Johannes Löhr, 1892 - 1928, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, height 100 mm x width 298 mm, building-site, city-view in general, 'veduta', Amsterdam, Boomkerk, A horizontal sketch in sepia tones shows a waterfront scene with a series of buildings and structures along the shore. On the left, there are tall, narrow posts and scaffold-like lines rising from the water, and a large blocky structure with visible vertical and horizontal hatch marks. Toward the center, rows of rectangular buildings with flat and pitched roofs form a continuous facade, interrupted by a tower with a pointed spire. The shoreline in front of the buildings is drawn with uneven, textured strokes suggesting a strip of open ground or low vegetation. On the right, a small shed or boathouse with a slanted roof sits near the water, and nearby a tall mast or spar rises diagonally. The sky above is lightly sketched with curved cloud-like lines. The entire image is rendered with fine, linear etchings and crosshatching on a light beige background.
