This 18th-century engraving, titled "Ottomanne Ceintree" depicts a detailed design of a sofa. It is likely an example of Rococo style furniture, characterized by its intricate curves, ornate carvings, and emphasis on asymmetry. The artist, though unknown, created a technical drawing of the sofa with precise measurements, showcasing the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the period. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical record of design and furniture styles during the 1700s.
