Schoorsteenmantel met een feniks en vrouwenfiguren 1708 - 1724

This is a design for a fireplace, engraved by Johann Adam Delsenbach between 1708 and 1724. The detailed drawing, in the Baroque style, features a central oval frame encasing a phoenix, a symbol of rebirth, surrounded by elaborate ornamentation. The upper portion includes a stylized phoenix perched on a vase, flanking figures, and a decorative design. On the right, a separate design for a decorative panel is filled with intricate motifs, including cherubs, foliage, and a figure holding an anchor. The design reflects the popular use of decorative elements in the 18th century.
