Verticaal paneel met kandelabermotief c. 1670 - 1685

This engraving by Paul Androuet Ducerceau, dating from around 1670-1685, is a prime example of the ornate and intricate designs that were popular in the Baroque era. The design features a central griffin holding a circular frame, which is adorned with decorative elements such as scrolls, leaves, and a shell. The griffin stands upon a pedestal supported by two stylised animal figures. This piece, likely a design for a decorative element, is typical of Ducerceau's masterful use of Baroque motifs and his ability to create visually arresting and intricate compositions. The drawing is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
