This anonymous 18th-century design, "Twee arabesken met medaillons," showcases two vertical arrangements of decorative elements. Both designs feature stylized floral motifs, including grapevines and leafy branches, entwined around central medallions. Each medallion, framed by elaborate floral wreaths, depicts a figure within a circular or diamond-shaped frame. The design is likely intended for use as a decorative pattern for textiles, wallpaper, or other decorative objects. The Rijksmuseum houses this intricate example of Rococo design, characterized by its delicate, asymmetrical patterns and emphasis on natural forms.
