"Rocailles met bloemen en met een haven" (Rococo with flowers and a harbor) is an etching by François-Thomas Mondon, dating from 1719-1754, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts four decorative panels featuring intricate rococo ornamentation. The top left panel showcases a bouquet of flowers amidst swirling rocaille motifs, while the top right features a scene of a harbor, likely referencing the title. The lower panels showcase more intricate designs with swirling leaves and flowers. Mondon's meticulous attention to detail and skilled use of etching techniques create a delicate and refined aesthetic, characteristic of the Rococo period.
