This anonymous etching, created sometime between 1675 and 1711, depicts a view of the Dutch estate Duinrell from behind, titled "Gefight van Duynrel uit het Padt achter Huis Westwaerts." The image showcases an elegant building, most likely the manor house, seen from the path behind it, with a courtyard and several figures walking within the estate grounds. The composition exemplifies the architectural and landscape design common in Dutch estates during the 17th and 18th centuries, with the carefully arranged trees, walls, and figures forming a harmonious balance. This engraving, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the refined aesthetic and leisure activities favored by the Dutch upper class during this period.
