View of the country house and court at Soestdijk,General view of the country house and court of His Majesty the King of Great Britain at Soestdijk (ca. 1690). The print seems to capture the moment when William,after a day spent hunting was taken by coach,drawn by six horses,from the forester's house,where the hunting dogs were also kept,to the main house. The gardens are modest,with only a fountain,some allegorical statues,parterres planted with low bushes and some fruit trees. Image taken from: A Collection of 86 plans and views of The Hague.
