Fries met medaillon tussen twee zittende putti before 1689

This anonymous engraving, created before 1689, features two putti flanking a central oval cartouche. The putti, or cherubic figures, are depicted in a seated pose, with one holding a book and the other a plumb bob. The cartouche is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and ribbons, suggesting a celebratory or commemorative theme. The artwork is likely a design for a decorative element, perhaps for a building or piece of furniture. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the style of ornamentation popular during the 17th century, which blended classical motifs with Baroque flourishes.
