Design for Frame with Ecclesiastical Motifs 1750 - 1788

Johann Oktavian Salver’s *Design for Frame with Ecclesiastical Motifs* (1750-1788) is a detailed drawing of a frame with a central scene depicting a church and surrounding foliage. The intricate Rococo style, characterized by its asymmetry and flowing curves, is evident in the decorative elements throughout the frame. The drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies Salver's skillful craftsmanship and understanding of architectural and decorative design.
