Paneel met medaillon en putti 1772 - 1779

This engraved design, "Paneel met medaillon en putti" by Jean Pelletier, created between 1772 and 1779, showcases a decorative architectural element. The design features an oval frame adorned with a laurel wreath held by two cherubs. Below the frame, a lion's head sits between two winged figures, a design element common in the Rococo period. The inclusion of cherubs and classical motifs reflects the Neoclassical influence of the time, which emphasized symmetry, balance, and the revival of Classical Greek and Roman art. This drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Rococo style and its intricate ornamental detail.
