Orangerie van Paleis Het Loo 1694 - 1697

This 1694-1697 engraving by Jan van Call, depicts the orangery of the Palace Het Loo in the Netherlands. The meticulously detailed drawing showcases a grand building with a symmetrical facade and a carefully designed garden featuring a fountain and topiary. The artwork, which is a small, intimate view, reflects the Dutch artistic fascination with detailed depictions of architecture and gardens, a popular genre in 17th-century Dutch art. The inclusion of figures adds a touch of realism and scale, capturing the daily life and leisure activities of the palace inhabitants.
