Fries, samengesteld uit acanthus-ranken 1763 - 1820

This 18th-century design for a frieze by Henri Sallembier, a French artist known for his decorative work, depicts a central motif of a putto riding a bird, surrounded by stylized acanthus leaves. The intricate design exemplifies the Rococo style's penchant for asymmetrical curves, organic forms, and playful motifs. Sallembier's drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a blueprint for a decorative element in a larger architectural project.
