'Het Groene Koningins Kabinet' (The Green Queen's Cabinet) is an etching by Dutch artist Carel Allard, created between 1660 and 1693. It depicts a grand garden scene with intricate details. The viewer is positioned inside a vine-covered pavilion, looking out onto a courtyard populated by figures. The artist skillfully captures the architectural details and rich foliage of the setting, showcasing the ornate design of Dutch gardens in the 17th century. This etching, part of Allard’s series "Tooneel Der Voornaamste Nederlands Huizen, En Lust Hoven, Naar T Leven Afgebeeld" (Theater of the Principal Dutch Houses and Pleasure Gardens, Depicted from Life), was intended to showcase the splendor of Dutch gardens. The artwork is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
