Drie juwelen, waarvan één met slang en sinaasappel c. 1800 - 1810

"Drie juwelen, waarvan één met slang en sinaasappel" (Three Jewels, One with a Snake and an Orange) is a pen and ink drawing created by Carl Friedrich Bärthel in the early 19th century. The drawing depicts three jewelry designs. The piece in the center is a cornucopia, adorned with flowers and wheat, while the two smaller designs are a necklace of pearls with a drop-shaped pendant and a snake coiled around a sphere. Bärthel's precise and detailed drawings showcase the intricacy of jewelry design in the early 19th century, reflecting a time when craftsmanship and artistry were highly valued.
