This etching by Dutch artist Joseph Mulder, dating from 1680-1696, depicts a pond and obelisk in the garden of Gunterstein Castle in Breukelen. The detailed view showcases the formal garden design popular in the late 17th century, with its symmetrical layout and manicured trees. The pond, surrounded by a stone wall, features a small boat with figures and several birds flying above. The engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and refinement of Dutch gardens during this period.
