Voorpoort van Paleis Soestdijk 1725 - 1747

Hendrik de Leth's 18th-century etching, "Voorpoort van Paleis Soestdijk," captures a serene view of the palace's entrance gate. The detailed engraving depicts a long driveway lined with trees leading to the impressive gate, which is flanked by two grand pillars. Several figures can be seen walking and riding along the path, adding a sense of scale and daily life to the scene. This work offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of the Dutch countryside, a typical subject in de Leth’s oeuvre. The piece is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, a testament to its artistic and historical significance.
