' 't Huis van Spiring', in: Tooneel Der Voornaamste Nederlands Huizen, En Lust Hoven, Naar T Leven Afgebeeld 1660 - 1693

This hand-colored engraving, “'t Huis van Spiring,” is part of Carel Allard’s larger series of prints called “Tooneel Der Voornaamste Nederlands Huizen, En Lust Hoven, Naar T Leven Afgebeeld,” which depicted prominent Dutch houses and gardens. The print showcases a Dutch estate, likely “'t Huis van Spiring,” with a central house in a lush garden, as well as figures and a decorative fence. This work was likely commissioned to capture the grandeur of Dutch architecture and landscaping, making it a valuable document for studying the history and aesthetics of Dutch domestic architecture.
