Kasteel Linschoten 1731

"Kasteel Linschoten", a 1731 drawing by Dutch artist Abraham de (II) Haen, depicts the Linschoten Castle. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a simple yet striking representation of the castle, with its prominent towers and arched bridge, showcasing the artist's talent for capturing architectural details. The use of light washes of grey adds depth to the composition, while the surrounding trees and landscape provide a sense of context. Haen's drawings of castles and other architectural subjects are valuable historical records, offering a glimpse into the Dutch landscape of the 18th century.
