Bank met rookvaten 1745 - 1775

This anonymous etching from 1745-1775, titled “Paphose en Gondole”, depicts a highly ornamented, curved couch, likely for use in a wealthy home. The intricate details include rococo floral patterns, a garland adorning the back, and ornate legs. The couch is presented on a simple tiled floor, allowing the viewer to focus on the intricacy of the design. It serves as a testament to the Rococo style's emphasis on elegance and delicate ornamentation, prevalent in European design during the 18th century.
