Gezicht in de centrale laan achter de tuin van Slot Zeist 1682 - 1726

This etching by Dutch artist Daniël Stopendaal, titled “Gezicht in de centrale laan achter de tuin van Slot Zeist,” depicts a long, tree-lined path leading to a building in the distance. The path is flanked by tall trees that cast long shadows on the ground, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The composition is symmetrical, with the trees and the path forming a balanced and orderly design. This drawing is a fine example of Stopendaal's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the grandeur of the garden of the Zeist Palace, a significant Dutch landmark. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the beauty of Dutch gardens and Stopendaal's skill as a draughtsman.
