Ornamentele omlijsting 1745 - 1808

This delicate etching, "Ornamentele omlijsting," was created by Gerard van Nijmegen between 1745 and 1808. The artwork features a circular frame, adorned with intricate floral garlands and delicate foliage. The central space remains blank, suggesting an empty canvas for the artist's imagination. This design may have been a preliminary sketch for an artist's portfolio or an example of the Rococo style popular during the 18th century. The artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum.
