This etching, "Lunette met putti, vissen en hoornen des overvloeds in de oostelijke galerij van het Stadhuis op de Dam," by Hubert Quellinus, is a depiction of a decorative lunette. The lunette is framed by two putti, or cherubs, who are holding onto two large fish. The putti appear to be trying to hold the fish in place, while the fish strain against them. The lunette is filled with an abundance of cornucopia, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. This artwork can be found at the Rijksmuseum. The etching was created between 1655 and 1783 and is a detailed study of Baroque ornamentation. The detail of the cornucopia and putti provide viewers with a glimpse into the artistry of the 17th century.
