Gabriel Huquier's "Ornament met een duivel op een sokkel met fruit op de grond ervoor" (c. 1725-1750) is a masterful example of Rococo ornamentation. The etching showcases a grotesque figure, a winged demon, perched atop a pedestal. The demon’s exaggerated features, and dynamic posture contribute to the lively, asymmetrical aesthetic characteristic of the Rococo style. Further enhancing the composition are the ornate details of the pedestal, the framing foliage, and the fruit strewn at its base. This piece, like other works by Huquier, is an intricate design ideal for decorative purposes, likely meant to be a model for furniture, or architectural ornament.
