Ontwerp voor behangselschildering voor T.A. van Iddekinge c. 1752 - 1819

Jurriaan Andriessen's "Ontwerp voor behangselschildering voor T.A. van Iddekinge" (c. 1752-1819) is a design for a wallpaper mural. The black and white drawing depicts a classical building, possibly a temple, set within a garden. The building is depicted in detail, with a distinct archway and intricate carvings, while the foliage surrounding it is rendered with softer strokes. This design, intended for the home of T.A. van Iddekinge, reflects the popularity of neoclassical architectural styles in the 18th century. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Andriessen's skill in capturing both the grandeur of classical architecture and the tranquility of nature, making it a fascinating example of decorative art from the Dutch Golden Age.
