"Poort in het park van Enghien" (Gate in the Park of Enghien) is a 1685 etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe. The artwork depicts a grand triumphal arch in a park setting, a common theme in Dutch art of the era. De Hooghe, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of architecture and cityscapes, captures the grandeur of the arch, adorned with statues and intricate ornamentation, while also emphasizing the human scale through the inclusion of figures walking through the archway. This etching is an excellent example of De Hooghe's skill in depicting perspective and architectural detail, and his keen observation of everyday life. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
