Titelprent voor een reeks ontwerpen voor decoratieve muurverzwaringen c. 1725 - 1750

This etching, a title page for a series of designs for decorative wall pilasters, was created by Gabriel Huquier circa 1725-1750. The ornate frame and decorative elements are characteristic of the Rococo style, which emphasized asymmetrical, curving forms and lavish ornamentation. The text identifies the architect, G.M. Oppenort, and engraver, Gabriel Huquier, who worked for the French Royal Court, reflecting the artistic patronage of the time. This title page, currently held at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the design and artistic practices of the 18th century in France.
