SK-A-5003

Gezicht op de Amsterdamse Herengracht in aanbouw, gezien vanaf de brug van de Vijzelstraat. Bocht met in classicistische stijl opgetrokken grachtenpanden op de Herengracht met de ingang van de Nieuwe Spiegelstraat aan de linkerkant. Tussen de nog onvoltooide gevelrij valt zonlicht en reflecteert op het water van de gracht. Bouwmaterialen liggen verspreid op de kade. Schuttingen schermen de onbebouwde kavels af van de openbare weg. Het laatste pand aan de zuidzijde van de gracht staat zelfs nog in de steigers.
