Amsterdam View of the Hoge Sluis and Amstel, 19th Century Colored Lithograph

About the Item

Amsterdam View of the Hoge Sluis and Amstel, 19th Century Colored Lithograph This charming 19th-century hand-colored lithograph titled *De Hooge Sluis van den Buiten-Amstel Gezien* depicts a scenic and historically important view of the Hoge Sluis (High Sluice) in Amsterdam, as seen from the outer Amstel River. This romantic and atmospheric cityscape is part of a mid-19th-century Amsterdam topographical series created by Dutch artist W. L. Andriessen (signed as W. L. Andreae), lithographed by P. W. M. Trap, and published by J. C. Loman Jr. The scene captures a picturesque moment along the Amstel, with rowing boats gently drifting across the foreground. The architecture of the sluice with its classic arches, the surrounding greenery, and the small houses lining the quay convey the harmony between water management and urban life in the Dutch capital. A windmill towers in the background, further emphasizing the quintessential Dutch character of the view. This type of lithographic city view was highly popular during the 19th century as a means of documenting important landmarks and cityscapes while appealing to the growing urban middle class. The print not only provides a rare look at the engineering and architecture of the historic sluice but also captures the everyday life along Amsterdam’s waterways. The hand-coloring is soft yet vibrant, with pastel skies and crisp architectural detailing that bring the scene to life. A valuable addition to collections of Dutch topographical art, Amsterdam history, or 19th-century lithography, this print also works beautifully as a decorative piece for interiors with classic, nautical, or historical themes.

Framing tips: Frame with light oak, gold, or black wood to enhance the vintage palette. Use an ivory or soft pastel mat to highlight the delicate coloring.
