Tuin van de Villa Madama, buiten Rome 1609

This detailed drawing by Gerard ter Borch, created in 1609, depicts the garden of the Villa Madama outside Rome. The artist's meticulous rendering of the trees, foliage, and stone wall provides a realistic and atmospheric view of this Italian landscape. Ter Borch's mastery of detail is evident in the delicate lines used to capture the textures of the vegetation and the intricate patterns of the stonework. This drawing is a testament to Ter Borch's skill as a draftsman and his interest in the natural world. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
