Titled "Vuë de la Cour exterieure à la Haye," the engraving shows people wandering on the Buitenhof square, with beautiful buildings lining the area. The scene is filled with the activity of everyday life, offering a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch society. This "vue d’optique" was crafted for use with a Zograscope or similar optical devices, which created an illusion of depth. These types of prints were designed to entertain and educate viewers by providing realistic, perspective-enhanced depictions of foreign or well-known locations. The engraving is signed by Cornelis Pronk as the delineator and Jacob Wagner as the engraver, showcasing the collaboration of artists typical of the period. See less
