View of Duurstede Castle from the North-west c. 1646 - 1647

Roelant Roghman's "View of Duurstede Castle from the North-west" (c. 1646-1647) is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting the imposing Duurstede Castle, a medieval fortress in the Netherlands. The drawing showcases the castle's imposing presence, with its high towers and moat, as seen from a vantage point outside its walls. The artist's meticulous attention to detail captures the architectural features of the castle and the surrounding landscape, with a windmill in the distance adding to the scene's picturesque quality. This drawing is a fine example of Roghman's mastery of architectural drawing, a genre he was known for throughout his career. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
