Horlogekast, medaillon en rand met bloemen c. 1631 - 1736

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century is a design for a clock case and features three medallions. The central medallion depicts a scene from the Bible, likely the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by angels. On the left is a woman seated in a landscape, possibly a representation of a virtue. The right medallion is a wreath of flowers. The design is reminiscent of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic composition, intricate detail, and the use of light and shadow. This engraving would have been a model for artisans creating luxurious clock cases during the Baroque period.
