Medaillon met landschap in rechthoekige lijst c. 1696 - 1717

This anonymous etching, created sometime between 1696 and 1717, is a striking example of Dutch Baroque art. The intricate design features a central oval containing a landscape scene, surrounded by a decorative frame bursting with figures and foliage. The artist uses delicate lines to capture the details of the figures, which include a reclining man, a woman holding a vase, and a nude man standing on a sea monster. The overall effect is one of dynamism and visual complexity, reflecting the artistic trends of the period. This small but captivating artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
