Gezicht op de karpervijver van huis Ouderhoek 1719

This 1719 engraving by Dutch artist Daniël Stopendaal, titled "Gezicht op de karpervijver van huis Ouderhoek," depicts a formal garden. The view shows a large pond surrounded by a series of walkways with decorative arches. Figures are scattered around the pond, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this historical garden. The "Ouderhoek" estate, located near the city of Arnhem, was a popular destination for leisure and contemplation, evident in the serene scene captured by Stopendaal. This engraving, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a fascinating glimpse into 18th-century Dutch landscape design.
