Zes motieven 1784 - 1785

"Zes motieven" is a design plate of six ornamental motifs by Jean Baptiste Echantillon, a royal embroiderer in Lyon, France. Created between 1784 and 1785, the plate showcases intricate floral and decorative elements. The designs are intended for use in embroidery and are indicative of the Rococo style popular at the time. These delicate designs, featuring intricate floral arrangements and elegant lines, would have been used to embellish textiles and other objects, reflecting the taste for refined decoration during this period. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
