This anonymous etching, "Fontein met drie verdiepingen," (Fountain with Three Floors), depicts an elaborate Baroque fountain. The fountain features three tiers, with a cherub at the top pouring water into a bowl, and two figures on either side, seated upon a shell and pouring water. The fountain sits before a backdrop of classical buildings. The etching's detailed rendering of the fountain's intricate design showcases the popularity of Baroque architecture in the Netherlands. The artwork, dating from before 1706, is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
