Twee kwarten van plafonds 1668 - 1716

"Twee kwarten van plafonds" is an etching by Susanne Maria von Sandrart, a female German artist active in the 17th century. This detailed drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two sections of a ceiling design with intricate ornamentation including cherubs, garlands, and classical-style architectural details. It's a testament to von Sandrart's skill as a draftsperson and her understanding of the Baroque style, prevalent in 17th century European art. The design is characterized by its symmetry, balanced composition, and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth.
