The house at Zuylen, of Mr. Reynaud Gerard van Thuyl van Serooskerken, La maison de Zuylen du sr. R: Gerard van Thuyl van Serooskerken, View of Zuilenstein Castle in Leersum (former title), View of Zuilen Castle in Zuylen near Utrecht, print, book illustration, Series number, 8, 98, printmaker: Daniël Stopendaal, publisher: widow Nicolaes Visscher (II), Amsterdam, 1719, paper, etching, engraving, height 163 mm x width 207 mm, A detailed ink illustration of a large stone building with multiple gabled roofs and tall narrow towers rising from its corners, each topped with pointed spires and small flags, sits surrounded by water forming a moat. The building shows many windows set into its textured brick walls and steep rooflines with chimneys and dormer windows. In the foreground along the water’s edge, a stepped quay and a low stone wall border the moat where swans float and a small pavilion stands on a platform. People walk and gather on a tree-lined path beside the moat, some near a small bridge leading to the building and others standing or bending over the water; a dog is visible among them. Rows of trees extend into the background behind the building, and larger leafy trees frame both sides of the scene. The sky above is filled with horizontal hatch shading and scattered clouds, with a flock of birds visible above the central tower.
