View of Nijenrode Castle near Breukelen, The house Nyenrode, by Breukelen, looking towards the Vecht, print, book illustration, printmaker: Jacobus Schijnvoet, publisher: Pieter de Coup, Amsterdam, 1711, paper, etching, height 132 mm x width 171 mm, An engraved view of a large manor-like building with varied rooflines and architectural details, including a prominent central tower topped with a bulbous dome and a small spire, rows of dormer windows on steeply pitched roofs, and a fortified-looking section with crenellations and narrow windows. The façade shows an arched entrance framed by classical columns and a pediment, paneled windows with shutters, and decorative stonework. Trees and bushes sit alongside the building and behind a low wall, while ornamental grasses grow in the foreground. The sky is filled with closely spaced horizontal lines suggesting cloud patterns, and a few small human figures and a dog appear near the right edge. The scene is rendered in sepia-toned line engraving with fine hatching and stippling.
