Design for "Orthographia", pl.2 1680 - 1737

This intricate design by Johann Daniel Preissler, a prominent Baroque artist, showcases the decorative flourishes of the period. The delicate, swirling lines of the ornamentation and the inclusion of putti figures, a common motif in Baroque art, are characteristic of the era. This design, likely intended for use in architectural or decorative applications, exemplifies the elaborate and highly ornate style that dominated the 17th and 18th centuries. The drawing, created between 1680 and 1737, is part of a larger series of designs, reflecting Preissler's expertise in ornamental art.
