Paar met visgerei in een rocaille 1719 - 1749

This etching, created by an anonymous artist between 1719 and 1749, depicts a couple walking through a rococo-inspired landscape. The elaborate, asymmetrical scrollwork framing the scene, featuring stylized foliage and birds, reflects the playful and decorative aesthetic of the Rococo style. The couple, with their simple attire and a dog at their side, presents a charming contrast to the extravagant ornamentation, highlighting the balance between naturalism and artifice that was central to the Rococo movement. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
