This 1687 engraving by Romeyn de Hooghe, titled "Octrooi verleend door de Staten van Holland en West-Friesland voor een kaart van het Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland," is a striking example of Baroque ornamentation. The artwork features elaborate flourishes and scrolls framing a central shield, likely a coat of arms, and a text document. The detailed rendering of the decorative elements and the sense of movement are characteristic of Baroque art. This print was likely used as a certificate or official document, reflecting the intricate visual language and symbolic representation common in Dutch art of the 17th and 18th centuries.
