Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum's "Vlakdecoratie met figuren" (1557) is a detailed and ornate engraving featuring a symmetrical composition of architectural elements, figures, and decorative motifs. The artwork displays a masterful use of line and shading, creating a sense of depth and texture. It exemplifies the intricate and decorative style of 16th-century Netherlandish printmaking, drawing inspiration from classical and Renaissance sources. This type of artwork was likely used as a design pattern for architectural features or decorative objects. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
