Een grote en vier kleine ovale cartouches 1630 - 1672

This drawing by Pieter Jansz., dating from 1630 to 1672, showcases five intricately designed oval frames. The top frame, larger than the others, is adorned with scrolling foliage and a decorative finial. The four smaller frames are arranged in pairs, each featuring a central bow and ornate, asymmetrical flourishes. This drawing demonstrates the Baroque-era penchant for elaborate ornamentation and intricate details, characteristic of Dutch decorative art in the 17th century. The drawing, likely intended as a design for a decorative object or a piece of furniture, provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the period.
