Panelen met zwemmende putti en adelaar 1745

This is a design for a Rococo panel by Carl Albert von Lespilliez from 1745, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The Rococo style is characterized by its ornate and asymmetrical decorations, often featuring natural motifs like shells and leaves, as seen here with the swirling foliage and putti. This design would have been used for decorative purposes on walls, furniture, and other surfaces. The artwork itself is an engraving, a technique commonly used in the 18th century to reproduce designs and make them accessible to a wider audience.
