Twee haardschermen met vaas en trofee 1745 - 1775

This anonymous 18th-century engraving depicts two designs for fire screens, or "écrans" in French. Each screen is shown in a minimalist setting with a plain floor and a background of blank space. The intricate designs incorporate elaborate floral motifs, with the one on the left showcasing an antique aesthetic and the one on the right taking on a more picturesque style. These detailed drawings, likely intended for artisans and designers, offer insight into the popular styles of the time. The engraving can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
