The House with the Tower, located west of Amsterdam, occurs in one drawing and three etchings by Rembrandt in about 1650. In the delicate drawing, we see the small estate from across an old canal called the Schinkel, near the present Overtoom. The most characteristic feature of the complex is the tower that gave the estate its name. ## Related artworks - [A black drummer and commander mounted on mules; riding in profile]() - [A child being taught to walk]() - [A cottage beneath trees]() - [A girl sleeping]() - [A Man Laughing]() - [A man making water]() - [A Peddler Selling Spectacles \(The Allegory of Sight\)]() - [A Polish Nobleman]() - [A Scholar]() - [A two-humped camel]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the front]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
