This engraving by Daniël Stopendaal, titled *Voorgevel van Huis Clingendael*, depicts the façade of a grand house. Created between 1682 and 1746, the artwork captures the architectural style of the Dutch Golden Age. The symmetrical design, with its multiple windows and a prominent central entrance, is characteristic of classical architecture. Stopendaal's precise detail and the inclusion of a scale bar in *Rhynlandse Voetmaat* (Rhineland feet) suggest a focus on architectural accuracy and perhaps a practical application for the engraving, possibly as a blueprint or design plan. The piece is now held in the Rijksmuseum, offering viewers a glimpse into the architecture of the Dutch Golden Age.
