Festoen met een druiventros en een opengebarsten granaatappel in het midden before 1677

This etching by Francoys Dancx, dating from before 1677, depicts a decorative festoon of fruit. The central element is a cluster of grapes, surrounded by other fruits like apples, pears, and a burst pomegranate, all arranged in a harmonious composition. The meticulous detail in the rendering of the fruits and leaves showcases the artist’s skill and the popularity of still life motifs during this period. This piece is a testament to the beauty and artistry of 17th-century Dutch printmaking.
