Trofee met blaasbalg, vuurtang en ketel 1770

This 1770 etching by Johann Heinrich Hess depicts a decorative arrangement of objects, likely tools for blacksmithing or metalworking. The composition is dominated by a large sign with an inscription, "Recueil des Trophee's Chtoyeres" ("Collection of Chimney Trophies"), highlighting the artist's interest in the decorative arts of the time. The image is a classic example of the Rococo style, characterized by ornate, asymmetrical arrangements and a playful use of line and detail. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates the artistry and craftsmanship that went into the design of decorative objects in 18th-century Europe.
