Design for a Title Page 1780 - 1800

This anonymous design for a title page, created between 1780 and 1800, is a fine example of Rococo-influenced design. The composition features a central empty space for the title, flanked by symmetrical arrangements of musical instruments, a cherub, and floral garlands, forming an intricate framework for the text. The delicate lines and flowing forms, characteristic of the Rococo style, contribute to an overall sense of grace and elegance. The drawing, currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the artistic trends and design sensibilities of the late 18th century.
