About the Item

Title: 'De Kanselarij te Leeuwarden – Original 1793 Engraving by Karel Fredrik Bendorp' Description: This original antique engraving, created in 1793 by Karel Fredrik Bendorp after the design by Jan Bulthuis, beautifully portrays the historic Chancellery (De Kanselarij) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. The Renaissance-style Chancellery, with its ornate façade and decorative gables, is a highlight of Friesland’s architectural heritage. The detailed engraving captures the bustling atmosphere of the time, with figures in period dress alongside the canal and tree-lined street, creating a dynamic urban scene. Condition and Presentation: The engraving is in a very good condition, with crisp lines and vibrant hand-coloring. It is carefully protected and enhanced by a cream matting board with a dark inner border, adding depth and emphasizing the detailed artistry. This presentation ensures its preservation and makes it ideal for display. Significance: As an original work from 1793, this piece represents a fine collaboration between two accomplished artists. Bendorp’s precise engraving technique and Bulthuis’s artistic vision offer an authentic glimpse into late 18th-century Leeuwarden. The historical significance, combined with its artistic value, makes this an exceptional addition to collections of Dutch history or antique prints.
