Swieten Castle from the east

• View of Kasteel Swieten, Seen from the South-east
• Swieten Castle from the east

RP-T-1879-A-81

In this view of Swieten Castle Roghman placed emphasis on rendering the architecture. He depicted the dozens of dovecotes on the side wall with notable precision, and not surprisingly, for in the 17th century the right to keep large numbers of pigeons was limited to the aristocracy and higher clergy.
