This engraved design by Jean Pelletier, created between 1772 and 1779, showcases an ornate architectural element. It depicts a decorative frame with a central oval medallion, adorned with a cornucopia motif. This design, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Rococo style, known for its elaborate ornamentation and graceful curves. The use of a cornucopia, a symbol of abundance, adds further symbolic weight to the piece, hinting at its intended use in grand interiors.
