Huis van Constantijn Huygens van opzij gezien 1639

Theodor Matham's 1639 etching, "Huis van Constantijn Huygens van opzij gezien," depicts the side view of the house of Constantijn Huygens, a prominent Dutch diplomat and poet. The detailed illustration showcases the building's architectural features, including its symmetrical facade, multiple windows, and a roof adorned with two globes. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the domestic architecture of 17th-century Netherlands and highlights the importance of Huygens' residence as a symbol of his status and influence.
