Vier degengevesten en twee putti 1615

This engraving by Antoine Jacquard, dated 1615, showcases four elaborate designs for silver vessels. The intricate details include putti, cherubs, and floral motifs, characteristic of the Mannerist style prevalent during this period. Jacquard's skillful use of line and shading renders these objects with remarkable realism, inviting viewers to imagine their opulent forms in three dimensions. The work is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the early 17th century, reflecting the burgeoning interest in decorative arts during that era.
