Onderboezem, schacht gedecoreerd met Neptunus en Amphitrite before 1643

This etching by Abraham Bosse, dating from before 1643, depicts a design for a decorative fireplace. The central panel showcases Neptune and Amphitrite, the Roman god and goddess of the sea, riding a chariot drawn by seahorses. The intricate design incorporates elaborate carvings, garlands, and cherubs, reflecting the ornate aesthetic of the Baroque period. This work is a testament to Bosse's skill in architectural design and engraving, and serves as a valuable historical document of 17th-century decorative arts.
