Decoratie van muur en kooflijst before 1678

Franz Ertinger's "Decoratie van muur en kooflijst," a detailed engraving from before 1678, is a masterful example of 17th-century decorative art. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a complex and intricately designed architectural detail. The composition includes a variety of elements, such as a central arch, a figure of a seated woman holding a wreath, and a balcony with two figures, all adorned with intricate scrollwork and floral motifs. Ertinger's meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, capturing the elegance and sophistication of the Baroque style.
