Vier lijsten 1772 - 1779

"Vier lijsten" (Four Frames) is a design plate by Jean Pelletier, a French artist known for his architectural drawings. Created between 1772 and 1779, the print features four detailed illustrations of decorative moldings and frames, showcasing various intricate patterns of leaves, beads, and geometric motifs. These designs were intended to inspire artisans and architects in creating decorative elements for furniture, interiors, and architectural structures. The print is part of a larger series of design plates that reveal the decorative tastes and trends of the 18th century. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, "Vier lijsten" is an essential resource for anyone interested in decorative arts and architecture of the Neoclassical period.
