This is a black and white engraving by A. Colinet, a French artist, titled "Wandkandelaar" or "Wall Sconce". The piece is an intricate design, demonstrating the Rococo style's penchant for ornate decorations. The sconce is adorned with elements such as a shield bearing a cherub, a lion's head, a helmet, a wreath, and a pair of crossed horns.
