Nis met standbeeld en bassin 1703 - 1712

"Nis met standbeeld en bassin" (Niche with a Statue and Basin), is an etching by Dutch artist Daniël Marot, created between 1703 and 1712. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, portrays a grand architectural setting with a classical niche housing a statue. The detailed depiction of the niche, the surrounding columns, and the water basin with figures interacting with it exemplifies Marot's meticulous attention to detail and the influence of Baroque architecture. The scene, with its harmonious combination of natural and man-made elements, reflects the artistic ideals of the period.
