H. Picart's "Cartouche in de vorm van gebroken fronton" (c. 1628) is a detailed engraving that presents a decorative cartouche, a common motif in Baroque art. The cartouche, featuring a broken pediment and a central oval, is adorned with intricate scrollwork, a cherub, and floral embellishments, showcasing the artist's mastery of linework and detail. The engraving's size, measuring 145 mm in height and 181 mm in width, allows for a close examination of the artist's meticulous approach to ornament. This piece is a testament to the Baroque era's penchant for decorative design and would have been used as a model for architects, designers, and artisans.
