Warmond Castle, Roelant Roghman, c. 1646

black chalk, with grey wash; framing line in brown ink, h 314mm × w 478mm Catalogue entry

In this drawing Roghman presents Warmond Castle as a mighty fortress. Two imposing towers flank the castle, which is built in various styles. By portraying the structure so expansively, Roghman left little room for its surroundings. He depicted only the dog slumbering in the foreground, a stray or perhaps the pet of Jacob van Wassenaer Warmond and his wife.
