Onderboezem c. 1675 - 1686

"Onderboezem" is a detailed architectural drawing by Cornelis Danckerts, created between 1675 and 1686. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a design for a fireplace mantel, with intricate details like pilasters, ornate moldings, and a decorative frieze featuring a vase and fruit. Danckerts, a Dutch artist known for his architectural designs and cityscapes, employed a clear and precise style in this drawing, making it a valuable resource for studying Dutch architectural aesthetics of the 17th century.
