Oude hof van Paleis Het Loo c. 1700

This etching, created by Jan van Call around 1700, depicts the “Oude Hof” (Old Courtyard) of the Palace Het Loo, a royal palace in the Netherlands. The view shows the formal gardens and a section of the palace grounds, with a group of figures in the foreground, creating a sense of scale and perspective. The work, measuring just over 16 cm wide, showcases Van Call’s skill in capturing architectural details and conveying a sense of place. This print provides a glimpse into the Dutch landscape and the grandeur of royal residences in the early 18th century.
