Adam Perelle's 1668 etching, *Fontein met een Triton en de rots van Andromeda in het park bij slot Ulriksdal* depicts two scenes from the park of Ulriksdal Palace near Stockholm. The top image features a fountain, a Triton, and an obelisk surrounded by figures. The bottom image depicts a rock formation with a figure of Andromeda chained to it. These are depictions of mythological figures and symbols, highlighting the influence of classical mythology in 17th-century European gardens. The etching is a valuable record of the park's design and decoration, and showcases Perelle's skill in capturing the details of this opulent landscape.
