Gardens, Duke d'Altems is a 1681 ink by Melchior Küsel, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a grand, ornate garden with a large building on the right side. The garden is filled with trees, fountains, and statues, and people are walking around. In the foreground, there are two men standing near a large pot with a plant in it. The garden is depicted in great detail, with intricate carvings and ornate decorations on the building and statues. The sky above is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere is one of luxury and elegance. The etching technique used in this piece creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. For more on this style, look up the Baroque movement.
