Wandkandelaar met dolfijnen en gevleugelde figuren 1714

This etching by Maximilian Joseph Limpach, dating back to 1714, is a design for a wall-mounted candelabrum. The intricate design features a central oval frame adorned with a wreath of foliage, flanked by two sets of putti, one riding a dolphin and another holding a torch. The candelabrum itself is adorned with several candles, all arranged within a framework of ornate scrollwork and foliage. This piece, now held in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the exquisite decorative arts of the early 18th century, showcasing the Rococo style's emphasis on delicate curves, elaborate ornamentation, and whimsical figures.
