Badkuip met dolfijnen 1745 - 1775

This anonymous 18th century engraving, titled "Badkuip met dolfijnen" (Bathtub with Dolphins), showcases a meticulously detailed design for a luxurious bathtub. The drawing's emphasis on decorative elements, particularly the intricate carving and floral motifs on the bathtub's frame, highlights the Rococo style that was popular in the mid-18th century. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the aesthetic preferences and bathing practices of the Dutch elite during this era.
