Zes scènes met arabesken 1746 - 1800

"Zes scènes met arabesken" (Six scenes with arabesques) is a design plate created by German artist Johann Kollmann between 1746 and 1800. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts six distinct decorative motifs. Each vignette features a central element, such as a vase or candelabra, surrounded by intricate arabesque ornamentation, including stylized foliage, figures, and grotesque masks. This type of decorative design, popular in the 18th century, often featured in architectural ornamentation and interior design.
