This anonymous etching, titled *Gezicht van Duvrael in t'Noort Effen-Bosch* (View of Duvrael in the Northern Even Forest), depicts the estate of Duinrell in the Netherlands. Created between 1675 and 1711, the piece showcases a formal garden layout, with symmetrical rows of trees flanking a central path leading towards a small building. The etching is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with landscape architecture and the beauty of the natural world. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small print provides a glimpse into the serene atmosphere of a country estate during a pivotal period in Dutch history.
