Deurstuk geflankeerd door twee kinderen c. 1628

This 17th-century etching by H. Picart, "Deurstuk geflankeerd door twee kinderen" (c. 1628), depicts a decorative architectural element framed by two cherubic figures. The central motif features a sculpted bull's head with ornate scrollwork, while a grotesque mask is positioned below. The composition showcases the intricate details of architectural ornamentation, typical of the Baroque era. The etching's delicate lines and the dynamic poses of the cherubs convey a sense of elegance and grandeur. This print, with its focus on architectural features and symbolic figures, was likely intended for decorative purposes, perhaps adorning a book or a private collection.
