Design for a frame with Eagles and Trophies 1750 - 1788

This intricate drawing by Johann Oktavian Salver, a prominent Rococo artist, is a design for a frame featuring eagles and trophies. Created between 1750 and 1788, the delicate lines and elaborate ornamentation are characteristic of the Rococo style. The design is a testament to Salver's mastery of decorative arts, showcasing his ability to create visually arresting and balanced compositions. The frame, featuring two eagles, each holding a crown and trophies, would have been a striking addition to any interior, reflecting the grandeur and refined taste of the era. This drawing, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, provides insight into the creative process of Rococo design and Salver's contribution to the decorative arts.
