"Plafond met variant" is an anonymous etching depicting a complex ceiling design with intricate ornamentation. This design, created sometime between 1670 and 1718, is a prime example of Baroque architectural detailing, characterized by its dynamic, elaborate, and often asymmetrical forms. The image features a central circular motif framed by a series of layered, geometric borders, showcasing cherubs, floral motifs, and other symbolic details. This etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insights into the decorative trends of the era.
