Romeyn de Hooghe's 1685 etching, "Detail of the Park at Enghien (right half)," is a detailed and intricate view of a grand park in Enghien, France. The print showcases the symmetrical layout of the park, including a canal, a fountain, and geometric gardens, all framed by a backdrop of trees and hills. De Hooghe's meticulous use of line and shading captures the depth and complexity of the scene, creating a sense of grandeur and order. This view of the park serves as a testament to the architectural and horticultural achievements of the era. The work is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
