Pronk, a prolific artist born in 1691 and who died in 1759, is known for his architectural drawings and landscapes. This simple sketch of the castle with its accompanying trees and hedge showcases his keen eye for detail and understanding of perspective. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the architectural landscape of the Netherlands in the 18th century.
