This 17th-century etching, titled "Kwart plafond met in het midden Christus of God de Vader" (Quarter ceiling with Christ or God the Father in the middle) by Franz Ertinger, depicts a central figure, likely Christ or God the Father, surrounded by cherubs. The intricate composition is framed by an ornate border, typical of ceiling designs from this period. The use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic poses of the figures, contribute to the overall sense of grandeur and divinity, characteristic of Baroque art. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the decorative and artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age.
