"Onderboezem met rond medaillon" is a 17th-century design for a fireplace by Antoine (le jeune) Pierretz. The intricate design features a round medallion at the top, framed by two figures. The medallion depicts a scene of three figures in a classical architecture setting. The design is richly ornamented with classical elements such as acanthus leaves and a Greek key pattern, making it a prime example of Baroque architectural style. The engraving is a detailed plan that would have been used by artisans to construct the fireplace.
