"Acanthusranken met vaas," an anonymous engraving from 1698, exemplifies the ornate style of the Baroque period. The design, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a central vase overflowing with floral arrangements, framed by swirling acanthus leaves and delicate vines. The intricate detail and symmetrical composition, characteristic of Baroque ornament, suggest a design intended for decorative purposes, perhaps for furniture or architecture.
