Gezicht op de tuin van buitenplaats Otterspoor aan de Vecht bij Maarssen 1719

This etching, created by Daniël Stopendaal in 1719, captures a serene view of the gardens of the Otterspoor estate near Maarssen. The image showcases a long, rectangular pond reflecting the cloudy sky above. The water is lined with trees and figures, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The composition, typical of 18th-century Dutch landscape art, highlights the beauty of nature and the ordered design of a Dutch garden. This detailed etching, now held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Dutch estates during the Golden Age.
