Hendrik de Leth's "Gezicht op de grote fontein en de Turkse Tent in de tuin van Huis ter Meer te Maarssen," c. 1740, is an etching that depicts a view of a formal garden. The scene is dominated by a large, round pond with a fountain in the center. The pond is surrounded by trees and there are people standing around the edges, enjoying the view. The title, "Gezicht van de Volliere en Fontyn naar de Turksche Tent," translates to "View of the aviary and fountain towards the Turkish tent," which suggests that this is a garden layout popular in the 18th century, and that it is a depiction of the garden at Huis ter Meer in Maarssen, Netherlands. The artwork is currently in the Rijksmuseum.
