This etching, *Zittende putto met een lauwerkrans in de handen* (Sitting Putto with a Laurel Wreath in his Hands) by Bernard Picart, is a fine example of Rococo ornament. The central figure of a putto, or cherub, holding a wreath, is framed by elaborate floral and scrollwork motifs. This design, created between 1683 and 1733, likely served as a model for decorative applications, showcasing the intricate and whimsical style of the era. It's currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in the Netherlands.
