Schenkkan of vaas op ronde tafel c. 1650 - 1664

"Schenkkan of vaas op ronde tafel" is an etching by Jean Lepautre, a prominent French artist of the 17th century. Created between 1650 and 1664, the artwork depicts an elaborate vase or "schenkkan" filled with sculpted figures and situated on a round table. The scene is set in a garden, featuring a group of figures in the background, possibly attendees of a celebratory event. The intricate details of the vase and the surrounding foliage highlight Lepautre's mastery of the etching technique, demonstrating his ability to capture both the grandeur and the delicate intricacies of the subject. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this artwork stands as a testament to the artistic excellence of the French Baroque era.
