This engraving, titled "Schrijftafel met stoel" (Writing Desk with Chair), by Johann Balthasar Probst, depicts an elaborate writing desk and chair in a richly decorated room. The design of the furniture reflects the popular Rococo style of the early 18th century, characterized by intricate curves, ornamentation, and an emphasis on comfort and elegance. The engraving is likely a design proposal or advertisement for these fine pieces of furniture.
