View of the side of the Eerste Sint-Antoniespoort in Amsterdam, with the Oude Kerk in the background on the right. This 15th-century building came to be located within the city on Nieuwmarkt after the city expansions of the late 16th century, thus losing its function as a city gate. In 1617-18, it was converted into a weighing house. This print is part of a series of five prints in and around Amsterdam.
