Cartouche omgeven door gewassen en een vrouw 1640 - 1645

This 17th-century drawing by Pieter Jansz. is a decorative cartouche, a design element often used in architecture and book illustrations. The cartouche is framed by a woman holding a sheaf of wheat, with a bounty of fruits and grains arranged above the blank space. The swirling, organic forms of the cartouche are typical of Baroque art, creating a sense of movement and grandeur. This drawing is a testament to the artistry and detail of Dutch design during this period.
