"Gezicht op het Hofje van Hoogelande te Den Haag," created by an anonymous artist between 1730 and 1736, is an etching that depicts the Hofje van Hoogelande in The Hague. The engraving shows a bird's-eye view of the courtyard, with the surrounding buildings lining each side. The courtyard is empty except for a fountain, a few figures, and two carriages. The meticulous detail of the architecture and the inclusion of figures in daily life offers a snapshot of the 18th-century Dutch city. The etching, measuring 180 mm by 341 mm, stands as a testament to the anonymous artist's skill and the historical significance of the Hofje van Hoogelande.
