Ontwerp voor een plafondschildering: ovaal met allegorische voorstelling, omringd door scènes met putti 1715 - 1798

This design for a ceiling fresco, created by Dutch artist Dionys van Nijmegen between 1715 and 1798, features a central oval depicting an allegorical scene of putti. Surrounding the central oval are more putti, engaged in playful activities. This drawing demonstrates van Nijmegen's talent for creating intricate and lively scenes, typical of the Rococo style popular during this period. The use of pale watercolor and delicate lines highlights the graceful figures and ornate framing, making it a beautiful example of 18th-century decorative art.
