Cornelis (II) Danckerts' "Zessprong bij het beeld van Faunus" is an etching, created between 1696 and 1718, that showcases a formal garden with a central fountain and sculpture of Faunus. The etching depicts a lively scene with figures strolling through the garden, contributing to a sense of the park’s popularity during the 17th and 18th centuries. It's a beautiful example of Dutch Baroque art, capturing the elegance and grandeur of gardens in this era. This engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the past and demonstrates Danckerts' mastery of detail and perspective in etching.
