Festoen met een opengebarsten granaatappel in het midden before 1677

This detailed etching by Francoys Dancx, a Dutch artist, depicts a decorative garland of fruit, flowers, and leaves. Created before 1677, the composition features a central, bursting pomegranate surrounded by apples, grapes, and other foliage. The intricate details and naturalistic depiction of the fruit are typical of the Baroque style, which emphasizes ornamentation and realism. This piece is a prime example of the flourishing of decorative arts in the Netherlands during the 17th century.
