Vignet met Poëzie en Mercurius 1745

"Vignet met Poëzie en Mercurius" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Punt, created in 1745. The vignette features three figures, a woman representing poetry, Mercury, and a figure writing, possibly representing a poet. The scene is framed by elaborate decorative flourishes that are typical of Rococo design. The work is a good example of the Dutch etching tradition, with its fine lines and detailed rendering of figures and objects. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
