Helft van rechthoekig plafond 1634 - 1716

This etching by Nicolas Pierre Loir, dating from 1634 to 1716, is a design for a ceiling. It's part of a larger series of architectural designs. This one features a central panel with two cherubs and elaborate ornate detailing. The etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and exemplifies the Baroque style with its focus on drama, movement, and detailed ornament. The design, though for a ceiling, showcases a sense of three-dimensionality through the use of shading and perspective, making it an interesting example of decorative art during this period.
