This etching, "Cartouche with Duck and Nymphs" by Stefano della Bella (1610-1664) is a great example of the Baroque style. The etching features a cartouche or decorative frame held up by two nymphs and a duck, surrounded by foliate ornamentation. This was a common design element used for decorative purposes on many objects. The artwork is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
