This etching by Flemish Baroque artist Hubert Quellinus, created between 1655 and 1665, depicts a lunette design featuring putti, lions, and cornucopias. The composition centers on a round frame encircled by a wreath and held by two lions. Two cherubs are positioned on either side of the frame, holding ropes that connect to the lions. The artwork was likely a design for a decorative element in the Town Hall on the Dam in Amsterdam, suggesting the artist's role in architectural ornamentation. It provides a glimpse into the decorative arts and artistic practices of the 17th century in the Netherlands.
