Cartouche met engel 1738

"Cartouche met engel" is an etching by Franz Xaver Jungwirth, created in 1738. This intricate design features a central cartouche, or decorative frame, surrounded by a lavish composition of allegorical figures and ornamental elements. An angel with outstretched wings holds a flag at the top, while a putto (winged cherub) leans on a staff, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. The bottom of the frame is adorned with a fantastical arrangement of foliage, a lion's head, and other decorative details, showcasing the Rococo style's characteristic use of asymmetry, delicate curves, and playful imagery.
