This etching, created by Cornelis Elandts in 1681-1682, depicts the stately Huis te Rijswijk, a palace near the Hague, Netherlands. The detailed rendering of the palace's architecture, the surrounding grounds, and the figures in the foreground showcases Elandts' skill in capturing the beauty of the landscape. The inscription at the top of the image, "HUYS TE RYSWYCK," further identifies the subject matter and its significance, likely created for documentation or as a commemorative piece. This work is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with architectural and landscape depictions.
