Ornamentele tafel 1714

This 1714 etching by Maximilian Joseph Limpach, titled "Ornamentele tafel," depicts an elaborate design for a table. The table is supported by two male figures, each seated on a lion, and is ornamented with a garland of flowers and a central fruit basket. The intricate details of the design, including the flowing drapery of the figures and the graceful curves of the table legs, highlight the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance and movement. The artwork is a valuable example of the design principles used for furniture and decorative arts in the early 18th century. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistry of Limpach and the enduring influence of Rococo aesthetics on design.
