Fontein en parterre met de letters W en M door elkaar gevlochten 1689 - 1702

This engraving by Dutch artist Laurens Scherm, completed between 1689 and 1702, showcases a formal garden design. The intricate parterre, featuring the interwoven letters W and M, likely stands for Willem and Maria, the reigning monarchs of the Netherlands during this period. The central fountain and surrounding steps create a sense of grandeur and order, reflecting the ideals of Baroque architecture. This detailed and meticulously rendered artwork serves as a testament to the artistry of Scherm, and offers a glimpse into the design principles of the time.
