Het Hof te Alphen aan de Rijn 1731 - 1784

This drawing, "Het Hof te Alphen aan de Rijn" by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman, depicts a detailed view of a historic manor house with a distinctive tower. Created between 1731 and 1784, the artwork uses delicate lines to capture the architectural features of the building, likely a significant landmark in Spilman's time. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum and exemplifies the artistic interest in architectural subjects during the 18th century, particularly the accurate documentation of prominent structures. This small-scale drawing, at 158 mm x 173 mm, showcases Spilman's skill in capturing detail and perspective.
