Negen ornamenten c. 17th century

"Negen ornamenten" (Nine Ornaments) is a 17th-century print by Dutch artist Daniel de Lafeuille, showcasing intricate floral patterns in a Baroque style. This etching features nine distinct designs, including circular motifs, a repeated border, and a longer panel. Each design displays a complex interplay of stylized foliage, demonstrating the artist's mastery of linework and detail. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, was intended as a model for craftsmen seeking inspiration for decorative design, particularly for goldsmiths and silversmiths.
