Deuropening met uitzicht op tweede deur before 1678

This etching by Franz Ertinger, dating back to before 1678, depicts a grand doorway with intricate architectural details. The doorway, adorned with pilasters and a triangular pediment, opens to another doorway, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The viewer is drawn through a series of receding planes, culminating in a glimpse of a distant landscape. This architectural engraving is a testament to Ertinger's mastery of detail and his ability to convey the grandeur of classical design. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering art lovers a glimpse into the architectural aspirations of the 17th century.
