Trofee met attributen van de wijnoogst 1784 - 1828

This intricate drawing, "Trofee met attributen van de wijnoogst" (Trophy with attributes of the wine harvest), was created by Dutch artist Cornelis de Kruyff between 1784 and 1828. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a cornucopia of objects associated with winemaking: grapes, a basket, a jug, and a wine barrel, all intertwined with vine leaves and a whimsical, cherub-like figure. De Kruyff's drawing exemplifies the detailed and symbolic nature of 18th-century Dutch art, where intricate details conveyed not only the visual beauty but also the cultural importance of the depicted subject.
