This 18th-century engraving by Johann Sebastian Müller is a plate from his publication *Auβzierungen zu Thüren u. Fenster sehr nutzlich zu gebrauchen* (Decorations for Doors and Windows very Useful to Employ). This design, from the Rococo period, showcases intricate ornamentation for both doors and windows, featuring elaborate floral motifs and flowing lines. The engraving reflects the stylistic preferences of the time, emphasizing graceful asymmetry and an abundance of decorative details, intended for artisans and builders to use as inspiration.
