EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting etching, titled "View of the second water basin in the labyrinth of a garden," is an anonymous masterpiece from the 18th century. The scene transports us to a secluded and serene corner of a European garden, likely in the Low Countries, with its lush greenery, symmetrical hedges, and intricate water features. The labyrinthine design of the garden adds an element of mystery and adventure, drawing the viewer deeper into the image. At the heart of the composition lies the second water basin, a stunning ornamental feature adorned with a drinking fountain. The basin is surrounded by a group of men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, who pause to drink from the fountain or simply enjoy the tranquility of the garden. In the background, a man in a hat leans against a tree, observing the scene with a contemplative expression. The etching is reminiscent of the works of renowned artists of the period, such as Paul Decker the Elder, Georg Balthasar Probst, and Karl Remshardt. Its intricate detail and skillful use of perspective and symmetry are characteristic of the Dutch and German traditions of garden design and landscape painting. The delicate color and shading in the watercolour paint add depth and texture to the image, further enhancing its beauty and charm. This work of art, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum, invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the company of others in a bygone era.
