This etching by French artist Pierre Gabriel Berthault, titled *Vaas en medaillon met duiven*, showcases two decorative elements: a vase overflowing with flowers framed by an intricate, ornate molding, and an oval medallion featuring doves in a nest, a symbol of peace and love. The artwork, dating from 1768-1786, exemplifies Rococo design with its delicate florals, graceful curves, and elaborate ornamentation. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, was likely intended to be used as inspiration for decorative arts, such as furniture or textiles.
