Gezicht door de grote haag op het kabinet in de tuin van Huis ter Meer te Maarssen c. 1740

Hendrik de Leth's "Gezicht door de grote haag op het kabinet in de tuin van Huis ter Meer te Maarssen" (c. 1740), a detailed etching depicting a formal garden, is a prime example of 18th century Dutch landscape design. The composition highlights the intricate layout of the garden, featuring a geometrically-shaped hedge maze and a central path leading to a building beyond. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the meticulous planning and artistry that went into the creation of these grand gardens, illustrating the Dutch fascination with order and beauty in nature.
