The Hague, Estate Honselaarsdijk
Johannes Teyler was the master of printing à la poupée in Holland during the end of the seventeenth century. This method of printmaking involves inking a plate in multiple colors at once and then putting it through the printing press in one run rather than inking and printing each color separately. This print was inked in blue, red, and brown.
Jan van Call, the author of this etching, worked closely with Teyler. Together along with a small workshop of printmakers, they practiced this process of printing in color that Teyler had invented and for which he received a privilege in 1688.
This print depicts the palace of Honselaarsdijk, the country residence of the Dutch Stadholders and the Princes of Orange.
