This etching, “Schenkkan naar rechts gekeerd,” by Cornelis (II) Danckerts, is a detailed and elaborate depiction of a decorative vase, or “schenkkan” in Dutch, supported by a crouching figure. The vase is intricately ornamented with a scene of classical mythology, further adorned with a lion, a draped figure, and numerous decorative elements. The etching is characteristic of Danckerts’s style, blending a meticulous attention to detail with a sense of dynamism. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the decorative arts and artistic trends of the late 17th and early 18th centuries in the Netherlands.
