Ovale rand omringd door vier horlogekasten before 1742

This etching by Louis Cossin, dating from before 1742, depicts a decorative motif of an oval frame surrounded by four clock cases. The intricate detail, featuring florals and scrollwork, is characteristic of the artist’s Baroque style. This small-scale artwork, measuring 156 mm in height and 125 mm in width, is a testament to Cossin's mastery of decorative art and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. Cossin was a renowned engraver, known for his contributions to decorative design and book illustration. This etching would have been a source of inspiration for other artists and artisans seeking to embellish their works.
