Ontwerp voor een sierstuk met het wapen van de Franse koning 1738 - 1749

This detailed engraving by Gabriel Huquier, titled "Ontwerp voor een sierstuk met het wapen van de Franse koning" (Design for an Ornament with the Arms of the French King), depicts a grand, ornate vessel with intricate carvings and a prominent display of the French royal coat of arms. The design, created between 1738-1749, showcases the Rococo style popular during this era. The vessel’s flowing lines and delicate ornamentation exemplify the Rococo aesthetic that favored asymmetry and natural forms. The design was intended for a decorative object, potentially a ceremonial vessel, reflecting the opulent tastes of the French aristocracy.
