This anonymous etching from 1664, titled "Fontein met Leda en de zwaan," depicts a fountain design incorporating the mythological story of Leda and the Swan. The elaborate structure features Leda cradled by the swan at the top, with two putti flanking a central urn, and a base decorated with sculpted figures of sea creatures. The intricate detail of the fountain, with its cascading water and ornate ornamentation, highlights the baroque style. The image likely served as a design proposal for a garden or public space.
