"Drie festoenen met fruit, bloemen, maïs en bladeren in de zuidelijke galerij van het Stadhuis op de Dam" (Three festoons with fruit, flowers, corn and leaves in the southern gallery of the City Hall on the Dam) is a 1655 etching by the Flemish artist Hubert Quellinus. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a detailed, decorative design featuring three vertical festoons of fruits, flowers, corn, and leaves tied together with ribbons. The design would have served as a model for decorative ornamentation on architectural elements, particularly for the City Hall on the Dam. This type of design was popular in the 17th century, as it allowed for the incorporation of natural elements into buildings and interiors, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur.
