Schouw en deuren 1735 - 1745

Carl Albert von Lespilliez’s “Schouw en deuren” is an intricate design for a fireplace and a pair of doors. Created in 1735-1745, the etching features Rococo elements and an abundance of ornamentation: flowing lines, delicate scrolls, and floral motifs. The overall design creates a sense of movement and visual interest, making it a prime example of this ornate and whimsical style, which was very popular in 18th-century Europe. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a valuable piece of design history.
