Ontwerp voor tuingevel met portieken en een borstbeeld 1640 - 1660

This anonymous design for a garden façade, dated between 1640-1660, features three niches with decorative elements including a bust, a coat of arms, and a turtle. The drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, suggests a grand and opulent style with intricate details. The use of marble and the placement of the niches and decorative elements in the design are typical of the Renaissance architectural revival style that was popular in the 17th century. The drawing is a testament to the rich visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age and offers insight into the design and decoration of gardens during this period.
