"Festoen van bloemen, druiventros en korenaren" (Garland of Flowers, Grapes, and Ears of Wheat), a 1699 etching by Friedrich Jacob Morisson, is a delicate depiction of a floral arrangement. The design features a central cluster of grapes, wheat stalks, and stylized flowers, with two ribbon bows tying the elements together at the top. This type of image was common in the 17th century, used as decorative motifs in book illustrations, textiles, and other decorative arts. The intricate detail and graceful curves of the design reflect the popular Rococo style, which emphasized elegance and natural beauty. The engraving's small size and simple composition likely served a utilitarian purpose, perhaps as a design element for a larger project.
