Franz Xavier Habermann's "Design for a Tabernacle, Plate 3 from the series 'Tabernacle'" is a detailed engraving depicting an ornate, Rococo-style design for a tabernacle. Created between 1745 and 1755, the print showcases the highly decorative and asymmetrical elements typical of the Rococo era. The elaborate design, featuring intricate scrolls, curves, and floral motifs, demonstrates the artist's mastery of line and detail. The engraving serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Rococo design in architecture and furniture during the 18th century. The intricate details and the overall elegant composition invite viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the period.
