Ornament met wierookvat 1683 - 1733

This detailed engraving by Bernard Picart, dating from 1683-1733, depicts an elaborate censer, a vessel used to burn incense, with decorative scrolls and a chain. The piece is framed by clouds, suggesting the rising smoke from the incense, and the intricate detail showcases Picart's mastery of line and texture. This work exemplifies the ornamental and decorative style popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
