"Stervormig bassin" (Star-shaped Basin) is an anonymous engraving depicting a fountain in a formal garden design from 1664. The design is centered on a star-shaped pool surrounded by six smaller basins, each with a fountain figure. Water jets shoot high into the air, creating a visually striking effect. The engraving utilizes intricate detail to capture the ornate design of the fountain and its surrounding landscape, suggesting the popularity of such formal gardens in 17th-century Europe.
