Oosterwijk Castle near Heukelum

Roelant Roghman, c. 1646 - c. 1647

On the back of this drawing of Oosterwijk Castle is a diagram of the castle wall and a wooden footbridge. We know that Roghman made the drawing in situ in part because of this rejected sketch. A second attempt resulted in this rendering of the castle. Roghman detailed the building’s architectural elements, such as the stepped gable and little towers, with great precision.
