"Decoratie" is a design drawing by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, dated between 1770 and 1808. The drawing depicts a series of cherubs and angels in a decorative composition with a focus on architectural details. The artist's signature and the year "84" are faintly visible in the bottom right corner. Brandes's use of a delicate line and subtle washes of color contribute to the overall elegance of the design.
