Rolwerk met bloemen en bladranken c. 17th century

This 17th century design by Johann Conrad Reiff, a German artist who died in 1726, depicts an intricate wrought-iron gate. The artwork, titled *Rolwerk met bloemen en bladranken* (literally "scrollwork with flowers and leaf tendrils"), exemplifies the baroque style with its elaborate floral motifs and symmetrical composition. The design is rich in detail, showcasing an impressive range of scrollwork and geometric patterns. Reiff, known for his work as a blacksmith and engraver, created this piece likely for a patron who sought decorative designs for architectural ornamentation. Today, this artwork is a valuable example of the artistry and craftmanship of the 17th century.
