"Trofee met tuinbouwattributen" (1778) by Etienne Claude Voysard (1746–1812) is a black and white etching, now in the Rijksmuseum. This print is an example of a still life depicting tools and objects used in horticulture arranged in a symbolic and decorative manner, a popular genre in the 18th century. The artist's delicate lines and detailed rendering highlight the craftsmanship of the objects while the inclusion of flowers adds an element of beauty and nature to the composition.
