This anonymous engraving from after 1710 depicts the "Gunterstein" estate in Breukelen, Netherlands. The detailed view showcases the manor house, surrounded by gardens and a formal canal. The house, featuring a central entrance and a bell tower, is rendered with precise lines and shading. The estate's grandeur is emphasized by the intricate design of the garden, visible in the background, and the figures of individuals enjoying the idyllic setting. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the Dutch Golden Age's landscape architecture and domestic life.
