Tuin bij Paleis Soestdijk 1695

"Tuin bij Paleis Soestdijk" (Garden at Soestdijk Palace), an anonymous print from 1695, captures the formal beauty of a Dutch garden. The image shows an aerial view of the garden with its geometrically-arranged beds and topiary, a fountain in the center, and figures strolling in the paths. It depicts a formal, symmetrical garden design, typical of the Dutch Golden Age. This small-scale print, now at the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a decorative piece or a souvenir for visitors to the palace.
