Landscape containing fifteen silhouettes 1793 - 1800

This 18th-century engraving, titled "Landscape containing fifteen silhouettes", is a playful example of silhouette art, showcasing the creative use of negative space. The intricate design features a variety of figures, animals, and objects arranged in a landscape setting. The artist, who remains anonymous, uses a combination of dark and light areas to create the illusion of depth and form. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the enduring fascination with the silhouette during this period.
