Etching and engraving on wove paper, sheet size ca. 210 x 165 mm., platemark 179 x 98 mm. One of the 76 etchings and engravings from 'Spiegel der natuur en School ter Teekenkunde, bevattende LXXVI afbeeldingen van landschappen, landsdouwen, watergezichten, enz. enz. […]', Amsterdam: Ed. Van Esveldt-Holtrop, [ca. 1830]. This publication contained a series of prints after various printmakers, including Silvestre, Perelle, Della Bella, Almeloveen, Van Schyndel, Visscher and Schenk. This plate possibly after Perelle.
Several well-dressed couples lounge near the pond with a large fountain with horses and figures. Garden beds to the background, as well as the garden wall and palace.
In fair condition, top margin quite soiled, and with a crease (ending just at the platemark).
