Twee schenkkannen in ornamentele lijst before 1664

This etching by French artist Jean Lepautre, created before 1664, showcases two ornate silver pitchers or "schenkkannen" in an elaborate decorative frame. The intricate details, including cherubs, sea creatures, and scrolling foliage, highlight the Rococo style that was beginning to emerge in the mid-17th century. Lepautre was a prominent figure in the development of this decorative art movement, and this print exemplifies his mastery of ornamental design. The "Twee schenkkannen in ornamentele lijst" is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
