"Ornament met duivel, Cerberus, vrouw met leeuwenpoten en een aap bij een skelet," created by Gabriel Huquier circa 1725-1750, is a detailed etching depicting a complex composition of fantastical creatures and symbols. The central blank shield serves as the focal point, surrounded by a multitude of figures including a devil, the three-headed hound Cerberus, a woman with lion paws, and an ape. This intricate scene, executed in the Rococo style, highlights the elaborate ornamental motifs and playful imagery characteristic of the period. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the whimsical spirit of Rococo art and demonstrates Huquier's mastery of line and detail.
