Fries met panter 1620 - 1664

This anonymous 17th-century etching, "Fries met panter," features a complex arrangement of intertwining foliage, a panther, and a human face. The style is characteristic of the Baroque period, with its emphasis on movement, drama, and ornate detail. The design was likely intended for decorative purposes, perhaps as part of a larger architectural or print project. The artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the Dutch art world's appreciation for intricate and dynamic designs.
