"In The Hague, Nicodemus Tessin sees a collection of mediocre prints and drawings at Mad. Claraling [Kralingen], and a painting by Rubens. Tessin visits Baron Gent and describes two large foliants with buildings; he notes its price and to purchase them at the descendants of Blaeu in Amsterdam. He comments on the sculptor Verhulst, his works and his prices; he is not impressed with the quality. The best painter in The Hague is Duval, who painted the roofs at Huis Honselaarsdijk."
