Adriaen Matham's "Gezicht op het landgoed Ockenburgh bij Den Haag" (c. 1654) is a detailed etching depicting the Ockenburgh estate near The Hague, Netherlands. The print showcases a central, imposing manor house surrounded by a sprawling garden and trees. Matham, a renowned printmaker, utilized a delicate technique to create a sense of depth and perspective. The image is further enlivened by the inclusion of figures and hunting dogs, adding a touch of daily life to this picturesque estate. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to Dutch landscape art's fascination with depicting the grandeur of the natural world.
