Trofee met adelaar, vaas en helm 1779

"Trofee met adelaar, vaas en helm" is an etching by Gottlieb Friedrich Riedel, created in 1779. The etching is a complex composition, with an eagle, vase and helmet at the top, and a variety of weaponry and armor cascading down in a dramatic and symbolic fashion. The detail is remarkable and showcases Riedel's skill as a draftsman. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of 18th-century decorative art.
