Horizontale cartouche met naakte saters en een cherubijn 1657 - 1685

This anonymous 17th-century etching from the Netherlands features a horizontal cartouche, an ornamental frame, decorated with a cherub and two satyrs. The cartouche is composed of intricate swirling and curved lines, and the satyrs are depicted in a playful and slightly mischievous manner, their bodies contorted in the decorative framework, creating a whimsical and decorative design. The cherub in the center, with its delicate features, provides a contrast to the satyr's robust and playful figures. This artwork, measuring only 105 mm in height and 162 mm in width, is a striking example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of intricate details and dynamic composition. The work is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
