Element vuur als kind met bliksemschichten op rug van adelaar 1648 - 1706

This anonymous engraving from the 17th century, titled "Element vuur als kind met bliksemschichten op rug van adelaar," depicts a cherubic figure riding an eagle through the clouds, representing the element of fire. The cherub holds a lightning bolt in one hand, symbolizing the fiery nature of the element, and a spear in the other, perhaps alluding to the destructive potential of fire. The engraving is part of a series on the four elements and showcases the artistic style of the period through detailed lines and intricate shading.
