Dansende nar en man met glas in ornamenten 1690 - 1710

This etching, created between 1690 and 1710 by Dutch artist Gerrit Visscher, features a decorative design of two oval frames adorned with intricate scrollwork, each containing a figure. One frame depicts a jester dancing, while the other shows a man holding a glass. The lower portion of the design displays a repeating ornamental border composed of intricate scrolls and flourishes. The use of fine lines and intricate details is characteristic of Visscher's work, showcasing his mastery of the etching technique. This piece exemplifies the artistic sensibilities of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, a time when elaborate ornamentation and decorative motifs were highly valued. The artwork, measuring 127 mm in height and 165 mm in width, is a testament to Visscher's skill in creating visually rich and engaging designs.
