This anonymous 18th-century design plate, held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases two decorative panels. Both feature intricate, scrolling arabesques with classical elements. The left panel depicts a female figure adorned with a wreath, standing on a plinth and flanked by two urns. A circular medallion, adorned with a dove and laurel branch, sits at the center. The right panel features a more ornate structure with a vase atop a square base, adorned with a cherub and a festoons of leaves. Both designs showcase a popular Rococo aesthetic with their whimsical, asymmetrical arrangements and emphasis on naturalistic motifs.
