"Alkoof met adelaar" is a 17th-century etching by the French artist Jean Lepautre, known for his decorative designs. The intricate composition features an elaborate alcove framed by classical elements, draped with flowing fabrics and adorned with sculpted figures. A central eagle, symbolizing power and authority, perches atop the alcove. The etching, likely a design for an architectural element, showcases Lepautre’s masterful use of line and detail. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
