This anonymous engraving from the 17th century, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a typical Baroque decorative design. The composition is structured around a cartouche flanked by personifications of the four continents, topped by a celestial globe. This artistic style, popularized by the Italian Renaissance, characterized by grandiosity and intricate detail, is evident in the rich ornamentation and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.
