‘AFBEELDING VAN HET OUDEZYDS HEERELOGEMENT, TOT AMSTERDAM, VAN BINNEN TE ZIEN, BENEVENS DE MANIER VAN ‘T VERKOOPEN VAN SCHILDERYEN ALDAAR.’

– 1774 etching with contemporary hand-coloring depicting the interior courtyard of the Oudezijds Herenlogement in Amsterdam, where a public art auction is taking place. The scene likely represents the sale of the painting collection of Johan van der Markt Aegidsz., former mayor of Leiden, which occurred on August 25, 1773. The lively composition shows wealthy bidders, art dealers, and spectators, with paintings displayed on easels and held up for viewing. Elegant individuals watch from the balcony, while auctioneers manage the bidding process below. The architectural details of the grand lodging house and the bustling atmosphere capture an important aspect of 18th-century Amsterdam’s art market. The print was designed and engraved by Simon Fokke, known for his detailed depictions of Dutch cultural life.
