Design for a Frame with Flowers, Feathers, Leaves, and Grapes 1750 - 1788

Johann Oktavian Salver's "Design for a Frame with Flowers, Feathers, Leaves, and Grapes" (1750 - 1788) is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting a delicate, intricate frame design featuring swirling rococo motifs. The frame is adorned with stylized flowers, feathers, leaves, and grapes, reflecting the ornamental flourishes of the Rococo period. This design, which is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, would have been used as a model for picture frames, mirrors, or other decorative objects, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of Rococo style.
