Decoratie van muur boven kroonlijst en van kooflijst before 1678

This etching by French artist Jean Lepautre, created before 1678, showcases his mastery of decorative design. The piece, "Decoratie van muur boven kroonlijst en van kooflijst", is a detailed illustration of a wall design featuring an oval frame, likely meant to be used as an inspiration for interior decoration. The frame is adorned with elaborate scrollwork, cherubs, and floral motifs, while the central oval depicts a religious scene, possibly the Flight into Egypt. This ornate design exemplifies the decorative aesthetic popular in the 17th century.
