Huis van Hans van Welij 1631

This anonymous engraving from 1631, titled "Huis van Hans van Welij," depicts a detailed architectural facade of a Dutch townhouse. The intricate design features a richly ornamented gable, multiple tiers of windows with decorative surrounds, and a prominent central doorway. This meticulous line drawing, a hallmark of architectural engravings, likely served as a blueprint or inspirational source for builders in 17th-century Holland. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architectural aesthetic of the Dutch Golden Age.
