Haard met guirlandes 1772 - 1779

"Haard met guirlandes" is a design for a fireplace, created by Jean-Baptiste Bichard between 1772 and 1779. The design features a classic rectangular fireplace with decorative elements such as garlands and a mantle piece. The work is an engraving, a printing technique that produces an image by etching a design on a plate and then pressing it onto paper. The drawing was likely intended for a client who was building or renovating a home and provides a clear blueprint for the fireplace's construction and design.
