Hofstede Spruytenburg 1619 - 1690

Anthonie Waterloo's "Hofstede Spruytenburg" is a detailed pencil drawing of a Dutch canal house, executed between 1619 and 1690. This artwork is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age and its appreciation for architectural beauty. The facade of the house is rendered with a realistic and precise approach, showcasing its symmetrical design and intricate details. The surrounding garden, adorned with trees and bushes, adds a sense of peacefulness to the scene. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Waterloo's mastery of architectural drawing and his keen eye for detail.
