Gezicht op de wandelplaats van het Hof te Dieren c. 1700

This etching by Pieter Schenk, dating from around 1700, depicts a view of the "wandelplaats," or promenade, of the palace at Dieren, Netherlands. The scene is viewed from above, looking down onto the central courtyard, where a large pool of water reflects the sky. Surrounding the pool are neatly trimmed hedges and trees, and a small building is visible in the background. This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the meticulous detail and perspective characteristic of Dutch landscape engravings of the early 18th century. The inscription in Latin beneath the image indicates the location and orientation of the promenade, further emphasizing the accuracy and documentary nature of the work.
