Monogram in cartouche van rocaille ornament met onderaan een waterval 1690 - 1710

This etching by Gerrit Visscher, dated between 1690 and 1710, is a prime example of Baroque ornamentation. The intricate design features a cartouche with the monogram "VV" in the center, surrounded by rocaille, a style of decoration characterized by asymmetric, shell-like shapes. The monogram is further emphasized by a waterfall cascading beneath it, creating a dynamic and visually captivating composition. The overall effect is opulent and elegant, reflecting the taste of the period.
