Het kasteel te Wedde c. 1847 - 1863

"Het Kasteel te Wedde" (The Castle at Wedde) is a lithograph by Dutch artist Willem Jacob Hofdijk, created sometime between 1847 and 1863. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the imposing Wedde Castle, a fortified manor house in the Groningen region of the Netherlands. The scene features a group of mounted figures, likely soldiers, approaching the castle, emphasizing the historical and military significance of the location. Hofdijk’s detailed portrayal of the castle and its surrounding landscape is characteristic of his work, which often focused on capturing the grandeur and historical importance of Dutch architecture and monuments.
