West side of the Civic Hall in the City Hall on the Dam, View of the Great Hall, in the City Hall of Amsterdam, Vue de la Grande Sale, dans la Maison de Ville d'Amsterdam, print, The west side of the Civic Hall in the City Hall on the Dam in Amsterdam. In the background in the center, the entrance to the Magistrates' Hall. Above it in the center, Justitia (Justice), beneath her feet King Midas as the personification of Greed and Invidia, the personification of Envy and Jealousy. To the left of Justitia, Death, to the right the personification of Punishment. Above that, the statue of Atlas. Various figures are walking and talking in the hall. Below the image, the title in Dutch and French. Numbered top right: 4*., printmaker: Cornelis Bogerts, Amsterdam, after drawing by Hendrik Keun, publisher: Pierre Fouquet, 1771 - 1783, paper, etching, engraving, height 368 mm x width 305 mm, A large, high-ceilinged hall with ornate architectural details and tall arched windows lining both long sides, decorative pilasters and cornices, and an elaborately painted ceiling with figurative frescoes. A central end wall features a raised archway, columns, and a sculptural relief above a doorway, with a statue holding a large sphere mounted above. The floor shows subtle patterning and scattered small groups of people in period clothing, some conversing, some walking, and some standing alone; the figures wear coats, dresses, hats, and breeches. Light from the windows casts shading across the interior surfaces, and the overall image is rendered in a detailed monochrome engraving style.
