Fireplace: four pairs in the frieze of dolphins addressed; a rich interior wing 

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a master of architectural fantasy, presents a detailed design for a grand fireplace. The frieze is adorned with a sequence of dolphins, and the mantle features intricate carvings and a central medallion. Piranesi's works are renowned for their meticulous detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and evocative depiction of ancient Roman architecture. This print, likely intended for a wealthy patron, showcases the artist's ability to infuse classical elements with a sense of grandeur and opulence.
