Ontwerp voor een hoekstuk van plafond met personificatie van de Gerechtigheid 1680 - 1757

This red chalk drawing, created by Dutch artist Mattheus Terwesten between 1680 and 1757, is a design for a ceiling corner piece. The drawing features a central figure of Justice, personified by a woman holding scales and a sword, surrounded by cherubs and intricate, decorative scrollwork. This is an excellent example of the decorative art that was popular during the Baroque period, and it showcases Terwesten's talent for combining realistic figures with elaborate ornamentation. This design, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the importance of design drawings in 18th-century Dutch art.
