Het huis Oud Alkemade 1730

Cornelis Pronk's 1730 etching, *Het huis Oud Alkemade*, is a detailed depiction of a Dutch manor house with a clock tower. The drawing is a fine example of 18th-century architectural documentation, capturing the building's exterior in meticulous detail. Pronk, a prolific draftsman, was known for his architectural drawings, which often served as records of existing structures. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the past of a once-grand Dutch home, illustrating the importance of preserving historical buildings.
