"Landhuis te Batavia" is a detailed drawing by Jan Brandes, a Dutch artist known for his architectural renderings. Created between 1779 and 1785, the drawing depicts a grand colonial mansion in Batavia, now Jakarta, Indonesia. The perspective, showing the building through a long, tree-lined avenue, highlights the scale and grandeur of the structure. This drawing offers insight into the architecture and landscaping of the Dutch East Indies during the 18th century.
