This anonymous 18th-century engraving, "Gezichten op de buitenplaats van Esaie Gillot," depicts a Dutch country house surrounded by a formal garden. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the architectural grandeur of the house with its symmetrical façade and a central staircase. Small figures are depicted enjoying the grounds, adding a sense of scale and human interaction to the scene. This meticulously rendered view provides insight into the landscape design and social life associated with Dutch country estates during the 1700s.
