Very rare large bird's eye view of the Zeist House, one of the most famous Dutch Houses and gardens in the 'Le Nôtre' style, surrounded by 20 (of 21) views from the similar prints series with views and plans of the Zeist House and gardens, all drawn and engraved by the well-known Dutch engraver Daniel Stoopendaal (1672-1726)
'Het Slot' at Zeist, near Utrecht, was designed by the architect Jacob Roman who also designed 'Het Loo' near Apeldoorn, and was finished in 1686 to become the home of Willem van Adriaan van Nasau van Odijk, the grandson of Stadholder Maurits.
According to Hunt & De Jong the view illustrates the house and garden from before 1702, while Nicolaus Visser was active until the end of the 17th century (Gruys & De Wolf), with his last dated publication from 1696.
In very good condition. Hollstein (Dutch & Flemish) XXVIII, p. 144, 49-50; Hunt & De Jong, Anglo-Dutch garden 56 & 72; cf. Springer, Bibl. Overzicht, p. 45 (oblong 4to print series); for Visser: Gruys & De Wolf, p. 186.
