Onderboezem, schacht gedecoreerd met spiegel before 1643

"Onderboezem, schacht gedecoreerd met spiegel," a design for a fireplace, was created before 1643 by the French artist Abraham Bosse (1602-1676). This detailed engraving shows the decorative elements of a fireplace mantle, including a mirror above the hearth. The ornate design incorporates scrolled, floral, and geometric motifs, highlighting the artistic standards of the Baroque period. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Bosse's skill as a draftsman and engraver, showcasing his mastery of architectural design and decorative elements.
