This engraving, *Nouveaux dessins de guéridons dont les pieds sont propres pour des croix*, was created by French artist Alexis Loir before 1692. The detailed design features three elaborate, ornate guéridons (small tables) with intricate carvings and sculptures, including figures that appear to hold up the tabletops. These design elements would have been highly sought after in the late 17th century, as Loir's work was influential for French goldsmiths and sculptors. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing an opportunity to study Loir’s skillful depictions of 17th-century design and craftsmanship.
