Ghostly stencil street art of a boy’s face on a building cornerstone in the Grachtengordel-West (western canal district), in the area around the Jordaan and Nine Streets neighorhood, of old Amsterdam, Holland.

This large stenciled silhouette of a boy and girl is perhaps a cheeky and fitting image the day after Valentine’s Day. Each is hiding very different object behind the back, each suggesting very different hidden motives. We stumbled upon this street art on Jan Luijkenstraat in the Vondelpark neighborhood of Amsterdam, near the Rijksmuseum and the city’s famed museum district.
