This anonymous etching, created sometime between 1675 and 1711, shows a view of the country house Duinrell as seen from the garden. The carefully detailed perspective drawing captures the formal layout of the garden with its central fountain and surrounding pathways, and the grand manor house beyond. The etching's detailed depiction of the garden and its inhabitants provides insights into the leisure activities of the Dutch upper class during this period. The piece, now located in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document showcasing the architectural and landscape design trends of the Dutch Golden Age.
