Ontwerp voor een kabinetje bij Arent van Hasselt, Keizersgracht 584, Amsterdam 1783

This design for a cabinet, created in 1783 by Dutch artist Jurriaan Andriessen (1742-1819), is a delicate watercolor drawing. The design depicts a wall panel with a central decorative element that features an urn and a cluster of musical instruments, likely symbolizing the arts. The symmetrical arrangement of the panel, with decorative garlands and pilasters, reflects the refined taste of the late 18th century, particularly in Amsterdam. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the elegant and refined aesthetic of interior design during this period, emphasizing the importance of artistry in daily life.
