Gezicht op het plein en Huis Clingendael Possibly 1689 - 1746

"Gezicht op het tweede plein 10 na't Heeren huis 11 te zien," created by Laurens Scherm in the late 17th century, is a detailed engraving of a stately Dutch manor house. The etching depicts a grand estate, likely Huis Clingendael, situated in a spacious courtyard with trees lining the perimeter. The composition showcases the symmetrical facade of the house, a hallmark of classical architecture. The image captures the grandeur and order of the Dutch Golden Age, while also offering a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating snapshot of Dutch architecture and society during a pivotal era.
