Design for a Wall Elevation 1670 - 1727

Simon Schijnvoet's "Design for a Wall Elevation" (1670-1727) is a detailed drawing depicting a design for a decorative wall panel. The design features a central, classical-inspired niche with an urn resting on a pedestal, framed by garlands and a decorative cornice. Below this is a second niche, ornamented with a rococo-inspired scroll design and featuring a central figure surrounded by putti. This delicate sketch, executed in pen and ink with wash, demonstrates the artist's mastery in architectural design and reflects the popular Rococo style of the period.
