Tuinlandschap met landhuis 1600 - 1800

"Tuinlandschap met landhuis" is a detailed drawing by the Dutch artist van Engen dating from the 17th or 18th century. The drawing, which measures 173 mm high and 145 mm wide, depicts a formal garden with a large fountain in the foreground. Two figures stand on a bridge leading to a large house in the distance. The meticulous detail and use of hatching are characteristic of Engen's style. The artist's signature, "van Engen", appears in the lower right corner of the drawing. This drawing is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, and provides insight into the artist's design process.
