Drie langwerpige Schweifwerk ornamenten c. 1622

"Drie langwerpige Schweifwerk ornamenten" (Three elongated tail ornaments) is an etching by Meynert Jelissen, created around 1622. The composition displays three elaborate, symmetrical, and elongated decorative elements, each featuring stylized floral and swirling motifs. These ornate designs are likely inspired by the popular Baroque style prevalent at the time. Surrounding the ornaments are four figures with grotesque features. The work reflects a playful use of ornamentation typical of Jelissen's artistic style and reveals a fascination with decorative elements often seen in Dutch art of the period.
