The etching showcases the symmetrical layout of the stables and the surrounding garden, reflecting the popular architectural style of the era. The presence of figures in the foreground, likely the estate's occupants and staff, adds a sense of scale and human activity to the scene, offering a glimpse into daily life at the Huis ter Meer estate.
