Hekwerk met fronton 1737 - 1806

This anonymous 18th-century engraving from the Rijksmuseum depicts a detailed design for a grand gate and fence. The intricate, almost architectural design includes a pediment, decorative foliage, and a repeating, geometric pattern in the metalwork. This style of architectural drawing was popular during the 18th century, often used for inspiration for building designs, and demonstrating a fascination with symmetrical forms and ornate details.
