"Cirkelvulling met engelen op voetstuk", a small, circular engraving after 1703 from the Rijksmuseum, depicts a complex, ornate design filled with angels, cherubs, and elaborate scrolling foliage. The central image is a sarcophagus draped with fabric, with two angels flanking the sides. Below the sarcophagus, two more cherubs flank a shield-like shape, with a garland of flowers extending to the bottom of the design. The use of swirling lines and intricate detail is characteristic of the Baroque style, which was prevalent during this period. This artwork exemplifies the Dutch taste for detailed and decorative compositions.
