Kan in in rococo-stijl c. 1743

This anonymous drawing, dated circa 1743, depicts a design for a rococo-style silver ewer. The intricate details, such as the flowing curves and elaborate ornamentation, are characteristic of the Rococo style, which emerged in early 18th-century France. The ewer’s handle and base are highly decorated with swirling, asymmetrical forms that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism. This drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the Rococo emphasis on elegance, refinement, and the pursuit of beauty.
