This anonymous engraving, created between 1725 and 1768, depicts two perspectives of the estate De Vergulde Eenhoorn. The top image showcases the view from the "Digue entre le Schuyt-brug & L'Omval," while the bottom image captures the view from the "Chemin cross du M. Galler." The intricate details of the garden, including the rows of trees, the symmetrical hedges, and the figures strolling within the estate, provide insight into the design and the daily life of this grand residence. The print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical document of Dutch landscape architecture and the lives of the wealthy in the 18th century.
