This captivating hand-colored lithograph titled *De Hooge Sluis. Le Pont de l’Amstel* offers a rare and charming view of the Hoge Sluis bridge over the Amstel River in Amsterdam during the 19th century. The print was created by C. Springer and published by the distinguished firm Frans Buffa & Zonen, renowned for their finely crafted lithographic views of Dutch landmarks. The scene is delicately detailed and lively, with boats gliding along the Amstel and figures leisurely enjoying the riverside. The striking structure of the Hoge Sluis bridge, with its series of graceful arches and elegant design, takes center stage. On the left side, the towering windmill and cluster of riverside buildings add a picturesque quality to the composition. The serene sky filled with billowing clouds creates a sense of calm and balance, framing the idyllic landscape in a romantic light. Hand-colored in gentle yet vivid tones, this lithograph blends topographical precision with an artist’s eye for atmosphere, offering a timeless window into Amsterdam’s past. Such views were highly popular among 19th-century collectors, serving as both mementos of familiar places and decorative objects celebrating the city’s charm. This print is ideal for collectors of antique Dutch topography, 19th-century lithography, or Amsterdam city views. It also makes an elegant decorative accent in interiors styled with historical, maritime, or European influences, adding depth and character to any space.
