Omlijsting met bloemen 1778

Pierre Gabriel Berthault's "Omlijsting met bloemen" is a delicate engraving from 1778, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This frame design features a simple, elegant border with delicate floral accents. The use of linework and the precise rendering of the intricate details of the frame, executed by Berthault, is characteristic of 18th-century decorative art. This artwork is a perfect example of Rococo style, with its emphasis on asymmetry, ornamentation, and the use of floral motifs.
