Rocailles 1731 - 1775

"Rocailles" is a design print from 1731-1775 by Emanuel Eichel, a German artist known for his ornamental designs. This print, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases four intricate Rococo-style rocaille motifs. These motifs, characterized by flowing, asymmetrical curves, were popular decorative elements in the 18th century, often used in furniture, architecture, and other decorative arts. The print's fine detail and delicate lines make it a valuable example of Eichel's mastery of Rococo design.
