Kandelaar met putto en rookvat 1772 - 1779

This 18th-century engraving by Jean Pelletier, titled "Kandelaar met putto en rookvat," depicts a design for a fireplace mantelpiece in the Rococo style. Featuring a putto (winged cherub) holding a decorative urn, flanked by two candle sconces, the intricate design reflects the Rococo era's penchant for elaborate ornamentation and playful imagery. This piece, created between 1772 and 1779, exemplifies the decorative arts of the period, showcasing Pelletier's skill in translating architectural details into a visually appealing print. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the work is a valuable document of Rococo style and craftsmanship.
