Spiegellijsten met bloemmotieven 1727 - 1775

Emanuel Eichel created these mirror frames with flower motifs in pen and gray ink. The drawing has a formal arrangement, presenting several frame designs in a structured layout against a light background. Each frame exhibits intricate Baroque-style ornamentation, characterized by flowing lines, naturalistic floral elements, and symmetrical composition. The drawing employs a range of tonal values to create depth and volume, thus enhancing the three-dimensionality of the designs. This precision shows Eichel's understanding of form and function, where decoration is integral to the structural elements of the frames. These designs reflect the Rococo period's emphasis on ornamentation and the integration of nature, thereby embodying a cultural and philosophical discourse where art and everyday objects blur, challenging conventional distinctions between the fine and decorative arts.
