The Scottish etcher and painter Cameron, inspired by the works of James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Seymour Haden, and Rembrandt, became a leader of the Scottish etching revival. Cameron’s use of light and shade in this print draws the viewer into the more picturesque aspects of the architecture. The typical Amsterdam canal house represented in Cameron’s etching was built in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century
