Verscheyde Constige Vindigen om in Gout, Silver, Hout en Steen te wercken (Plate 2) 1651 - 1653

This etching by Michiel Mosyn, titled *Verscheyde Constige Vindigen om in Gout, Silver, Hout en Steen te wercken (Plate 2)*, is a design for a silver ewer, a vessel used to pour water or wine, dated to between 1651-1653. The image includes three figures, one standing on a base and two kneeling, all showing the ornate detail Mosyn intended for the finished piece. This piece is a prime example of the ornate and elaborate designs typical of Baroque-era silverwork. The engraving was published by Cornelis Dankers, which makes this a collaboration between artists. You can see the artwork on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
