"Arabesken met vazen en meerminnen" is an etching by Laurent Guyot, a French artist working in the late 18th century. The artwork depicts a symmetrical composition of vases and mermaids in an elaborate design, exemplifying the ornate Rococo style, popular during this period. Guyot's print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases the artistic trend of using fantastical elements and intricate details for decorative purposes, popular among designers and artisans seeking inspiration.
