Ronde parterre before 1703

This anonymous etching, titled "Ronde parterre," depicts a formal garden scene with a central fountain, a circular parterre, and a figure on the right holding a bow and arrow. It was created before 1703 and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The composition is balanced and symmetrical, emphasizing the classical elements of order and harmony within the garden design. This etching likely depicts a scene from a mythological story or a pastoral poem, typical of the Baroque period, and demonstrates the artist's interest in landscape architecture and the idealization of nature.
