Tuinvaas met zittende figuren after 1724

"Tuinvaas met zittende figuren" is a 1724 etching by Georg Lichtensteger, depicting a grand, decorative urn adorned with intricate details. The urn, likely meant for a tomb, is surrounded by seated figures, possibly representing mourning or the cycle of life. Lichtensteger's work, known for its detailed and elegant renderings of classical forms, exemplifies the architectural and decorative sensibilities of the Baroque period. This print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic and funerary practices of 18th-century Europe.
