About this work
This etching and the one next to it are the only two prints with designs for auricular stands published in the Netherlands. Van den Eeckhout, a painter who had trained with Rembrandt, both designed various objects with kwab ornament, and depicted them in his pictures. The tables are too massive to be literally translated into wood.
