Titelblad: Les Cabinets c. 1680 - 1700

This anonymous etching, titled "Titelblad: Les Cabinets," from around 1680-1700, is a fine example of Baroque-style decorative art. The intricate design features a central framed oval, likely a portrait or other image, surrounded by elaborate ornamentation, including putti, seahorses, and foliage. The bottom of the composition depicts a mythological figure, potentially Neptune or Poseidon, holding a trident and riding seahorses. This detailed and dynamic etching would have been a popular choice for a decorative element in a private collection or a public building during the Baroque period. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
