This detailed engraving by Gabriel Huquier, a prominent French artist of the 18th century, is a design for a "trumeau" (a decorative architectural element above a doorway). It features a central mirror flanked by ornate candle sconces and a scrolled, rocaille-style frame. Huquier's work embodies the Rococo aesthetic, emphasizing asymmetrical curves, intricate details, and playful motifs. The design, intended for a Portuguese commission, reflects the international appeal of Rococo style during this period.
