The North Prospect of the New Quadrangle of Christ Church in Oxford is a 1707 ink by Johannes Kip, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a large, symmetrical building with a courtyard in the center. The building has many windows and columns, and people are walking around the courtyard. There are also some dogs and a person pushing a cart. The building looks old and formal, with lots of details like balconies and decorative carvings. The courtyard is empty except for the people and dogs, but it has a big, open space in the middle. This image is an etching, a technique that involves scratching a design onto a metal plate and then printing it onto paper. You can learn more about this technique by looking up etching.
Johannes "Jan" Kip (1652/53 in Amsterdam – 1722 in Westminster) was a Dutch draftsman, engraver and print dealer. Together with Leonard Knyff, he made a speciality of engraved views of English country houses.
