"Bassin met berg in rond bassin" (Basin with Mountain in Round Basin), is an anonymous engraving dating back to 1664. The artwork depicts a fantastical fountain with water cascading down its multi-colored, mountainous form, seemingly defying gravity as it reaches toward the sky. The intricate details and stylized representation of the water suggest a Baroque style, popular during this time period. This print likely functioned as a design proposal or decorative element for a garden or public space, showcasing the imaginative and ambitious use of water features in 17th-century Europe.
