Afrika 1768 - 1771

"Afrika" is an engraving by Charles Beurlier, dating from 1768-1771. It depicts a decorative motif, likely for a building, with a central medallion showing a female figure standing between two lions. The motif is a testament to the Rococo period's penchant for elaborate ornamentation, featuring ornate scrolls, foliage, and grotesque figures. This particular design, showcasing an intricate arrangement of architectural elements, would have been appreciated by those interested in the finer details of design and craftsmanship during the 18th century.
