Vignet met hond en harten 1722 - 1784

"Vignet met hond en harten" (vignette with dog and hearts) is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, created between 1722 and 1784. The intricate design depicts a symmetrical garden layout featuring a central fountain, two pillars, and a playful dog. Surrounding the fountain, a rope-like design intertwined with hearts connects the elements. The scene is enclosed within a circle, creating a sense of harmony and order. The use of geometric shapes and intricate details is characteristic of the Rococo style popular in the 18th century. This small etching, measuring just 134 mm by 135 mm, offers a charming glimpse into the elegance and whimsical nature of garden design during that period.
