This 1745 engraving by Carl Albert von Lespilliez, a German artist of the Rococo era, is a prime example of ornamental design. The artwork features two panels, each containing a stylized vignette framed by intricate, swirling rocaille patterns. The left panel depicts a landscape scene, possibly inspired by classical mythology, while the right panel features a putto figure in a celestial setting. These panels, intended for decorative purposes, showcase the Rococo penchant for asymmetry, elaborate flourishes, and the use of nature-inspired motifs. The engraving, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, highlights the artistry and complexity of 18th-century decorative design.
