This etching by Hubert Quellinus, created between 1655 and 1783, depicts a lunette with putti, roosters, and cornucopias, originally located in the western gallery of the Stadhuis on the Dam in Amsterdam. The lunette, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a decorative element featuring two cherubs flanking a roundel, with an abundance of fruit and other symbols of plenty. The artwork is a testament to the artistic talent of Quellinus and his ability to represent classical motifs with intricate detail. The composition, with its harmonious balance and skillful use of light and shadow, is characteristic of the Baroque style.
