"Gezicht op het landhuis Sion in vogelvlucht" (View of the Sion Estate from a bird's eye perspective) is an etching by Pieter van (II) Call, created around 1725. The work depicts a bird's eye view of the Sion estate, showing the formal gardens, geometrically arranged parterres and the main house in detail. Call, a Dutch artist known for his meticulous renderings of architectural subjects, captures the grandeur and symmetry of the estate. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
