Kroonlijst 1784 - 1785

"Kroonlijst" (Cornice of the Apartment with Re-entrant Angle), a detailed engraving by C. Le Meunnié, showcases an intricate architectural design. The print, dating back to 1784-1785, provides a close-up view of a cornice featuring a complex layering of decorative elements, including a series of rosettes, stylized foliage, and a scrolled molding. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, emphasizes the intricate detail of the design, making it a valuable study for architects and decorative artists of the period.
