Cul-de-lampe met putti before 1664

This intricate engraving, "Cul-de-lampe met putti," created by Sébastien Leclerc I before 1664, showcases the artist's mastery of detail and the Rococo style. The composition features two cherubs, or putti, amidst a swirling array of foliage and grapes, their playful interactions adding a sense of dynamism to the design. The ornate, asymmetrical form, characteristic of the Rococo period, suggests a use as a decorative element, perhaps as a bookplate or an architectural embellishment. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
