Vuurbok met leeuw 1775 - 1790

"Vuurbok met leeuw" (Fireback with Lion) is an engraving by Augustin Foin, created between 1775 and 1790. It depicts a decorative fireback, a piece of metal placed at the back of a fireplace to reflect heat, featuring a lion resting on an elaborate floral design. The intricate details of the foliage and the lion’s pose are indicative of the Rococo style, which was popular during this period. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and measures 201 mm in height by 271 mm in width.
