"Bed en stoelen" is an engraving by Jean Baptiste Fay from 1784-1796. It is a detailed architectural drawing of a bed and two chairs, likely intended for a design portfolio. The bed is ornately decorated with swags, garlands, and a central feminine head. The chairs share similar motifs, indicating a cohesive design concept. This work provides insight into 18th-century furniture design and the influence of classical aesthetics. The engraving is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
