Cartouche met fonteinen en putti 1734

This 1734 etching by an anonymous artist, titled "Cartouche met fonteinen en putti" is a decorative title page from a book of prints depicting fountains and water features in Spa, Belgium. The intricate design features two putti, or cherubs, flanking a circular cartouche, which contains the title, "Perspectives ou Vues des Fontaines de Spa." The putti are posed in a playful manner, adding a light-hearted element to the overall composition. The cartouche is surrounded by an elaborate rococo frame, featuring a fountain and a variety of floral and vegetal motifs. This example of Dutch rococo engraving is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
