This etching by Michiel Mosyn, a Dutch artist who was born in 1630, is one of nine plates from his 1651-1653 publication *Verscheyde Constige Vindigen om in Gout, Silver, Hout en Steen te wercken* (Various Ingenious Designs for Work in Gold, Silver, Wood, and Stone). The etching depicts a design for a piece of furniture with a decorative top featuring two cherubs. It is an example of a popular genre of design books that emerged in the Netherlands in the 17th century, providing artistic inspiration for goldsmiths, silversmiths, woodcarvers, and stone masons. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
