Ontwerp voor kamerwand met schoorsteenstuk van de Doop van de Kamerling c. 1752 - 1819

Jurriaan Andriessen’s “Ontwerp voor kamerwand met schoorsteenstuk van de Doop van de Kamerling” (c. 1752-1819) is a design for a fireplace surround with landscape scenes. The central panel depicts a scene from the Bible, likely the baptism of the Eunuch, as indicated by the title. The landscape scenes on the left and right panels may have been inspired by the Dutch countryside. This design would have been intended for use in a private home, and was created by Andriessen during his prolific career as a designer and architect in Amsterdam.
