This view on the castle and the gardens of Versailles was carried out by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Swidde" class="extiw" title="en:Willem Swidde">Willem_Swidde</a> (c. 1660-1697). Though occasionally Swidden made portaits and historical prints as well, he specialised in landscapes and garden prints. Commissioned by De Lespine, Swidden engraved a series of views of the famous gardens of Versailles between 1683 and 1684. A series of prints with the same subject published in Paris and engraved by Nicolas Perelle formed the source of inspiration for this series of prints.
