Ontwerp voor een behangselbeschildering 1677 - 1744

This pen and ink drawing by Isaac de Moucheron, titled "Ontwerp voor een behangselbeschildering," is a design for a wallpaper. Created between 1677 and 1744, the composition features a pastoral landscape with figures lounging on a terrace overlooking a harbor with sailing ships. The loose, sketchy style is typical of drawings intended for decorative purposes and underscores the artist's desire to capture the essence of a scene for an elegant design. This particular design, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale piece, measuring just 124 mm in height and 88 mm in width, providing a glimpse into de Moucheron's imaginative approach to wallpaper design.
