Gezicht op de buitenplaats Paddenburg, bij Baambrugge 1730

Abraham Rademaker’s 1730 etching, *Gezicht op de buitenplaats Paddenburg, bij Baambrugge*, depicts a country estate, Paddenburg, near Baambrugge. The detail-rich scene features a stately house with a gated entrance, a small guardhouse, and several figures in the foreground. The scene is framed by a canal, which runs along the bottom edge of the composition, and a line of trees, suggesting a large surrounding garden. This depiction of a Dutch country estate offers a glimpse into the lives of wealthy landowners in the Netherlands during the 18th century. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to its cultural and historical significance.
